Sir,

I take the opportunity of M. Rembrandt Peale who is
on his departure for Philadephia, to write to you and give you
his thanks for the mosses you sent with the letter dated the Februarius —
1st 1808. I suppose you have no received my answers, for since
that time, I heard nothing from you. I took notice of your
judicious observations upon my prodromus. I thank you for them.
Now, whithout leaving my work upon [Æthéogamian?] plants, I
by an observation upon Graminea and I hope in several months I
shall have the pleasure to send you that — work with plates
of this [lav?] of all genera which are almost all [reformed?]
if it is possible I shall be very happy of receiving all American
specimens species. You may send them, Sir, with the cryptogamia as
you say in your last you have executed for me, by the way
of your amabassador or chargé d'affaires in Paris. It is the only
way to receive safely what you please to send. I whish
to have the Nova Genera et Species Plantarum Americanarum by M.
Rafinesque Schmaltz, which has been announced in the Medical
Repository of New York vol. 5. with the plants described in it.
I write to the gentleman himself, but I don not know if he
lives in New York or else where.

Pray sir receive as a prove of my great consideration
