& miscellanies will come in the next no. but both will be in one Vol. It can be mentioned that the whole was communicated at once & you can have your printed copies of both so arranged as to stick them together in one pamphlet.

The Botanical part had better remain where it is, but I foresee that there will be typographical errors in that part unless Mrs. Hitchcock will take the trouble to copy those parts again in a hand that cannot be misread, for our botanical Doctors are too busy to be always found & always at command when needed to aid me in correcting proof. If the MS is perfectly plain (which is not always the case with you and me) I can then rely on myself.

I will endeavour to send you that work on fungi when I have an opportunity. You are aware it is in German but there is a Latin translation, column by column.

I will send you the earliest copy of the map that I can obtain & I will put it ^(the MS) into the engraver’s hands this afternoon.

I wish you would forward the catalogue of plants as early as possible that I may see how much room it will occupy. I have one now lying by besides another botanical paper & Mr. Schweinitz has intimated that he shall send some papers. I will do any thing in my power for Dr. Cooley & remain with great regard truly your obligd. friend & sevt.,

B Silliman

My respects to Mrs. Hitchcock whom I cannot but regard as a coadjutor.
