August 1st. We got your 28th ult letter yesterday & already commence a protracted letter which is to be "produced" considerable if not more we had written 2 letters which you have not recie'd besides one special messenger sent last Tuesday of all of which you will probably soon be in the receipt. I have just finish'd examining the specimen you enclosed.
The Scutellaria appears to be S. lateriflora. Alfred - found 2 specimens of it down south east in Webb's little wood patch, he could find no more nowhere.
That Mark'd "prinos" I conclude with some confidence to be Andromeda ligustrina.
That mark'd "Strange tree from Henniker" I suppose to be Mulberry, morus nigra, a native of western N.E. & westward according to Gray. the leaves nearly agree with those of the Southern Red bud, or Judas tree, so far as I can see from this specimen; But I dont think this has a papilionaceous flower as that, the Edible fruit however of Morus N. should be ripe in July. I can find nothing else much corresponding to it
