your word "wild" I should have inclin'd to think it Buck wheat but if turning or climbing which you do not tell me & I couldn't find out from the specimen it must be P. cilinode

  Belphilia hirsuta, I suppose the Mint-like plant to be tho' I am not entirely satisfied about it, I can find nothing else it will do to call it.   You will find perhaps on those Hills Aster graminifolens, a northern plant found on Mountains in N.H. - 6 to 12 in. high with linear leaves & small rose purple or white flowers: also perhaps some Mr. Solidagos growing 2- 20 inches high.   you do not visit Alpine regions I suppose at all

16 Sept I have had no new plants except as that you sent me, Since I wrote to you before. frost occur'd last night & night before but Beans were harvested the Corn was ripe & the Tomatos were cover'd up Charles's grain all ready for housing Commenced carting it today there being so much of it in preference to cutting up the corn, the Wheat a little rusted but Pretty Good, is good generally about here

  Of those guinea Chicks the sole survivor at the date of the latest authentic inteligence the hen came off with one chick when she should have set a week longer,  after passing thro' divers disasters & dangers had attain'd the age of 4 days and had gone to live with its Aunt Polly.  
  Eliab mention'd his plant of going into partnership with Brown &Son but was advis'd adversely thereto. He will probably stay at Brown as long as they want him & pay him him his price.

   According to my usual practice of having several Irons in the fire I have been reading of late "Bancrofts U.S. , Smellie philosophy of Natural History & poetical works of H. Kirke White.  In their respective limes the last are in my estimation much inferior in merit to the first
