Closter, N. J. Oct. 20 - '73. My Dear Sir, Yours of 18th is rec'd. I have already enough subscribed to pay expenses of both projects. The "Hep. Excia" will contain all our Carucica species and all others that y can furnish. You speak of having Hepata from Mr. Curtis. He had some new things several of which I have named. I have now seen a collection of Hepits from [Esue E?] the names of which cannot be relied on!—Will keep a set of both "Hep. Excis" & Jonathan [Morris] for you and you may take them or not as you please. Very truly yours C Austin

Dear Sir
Your letter of the 24th ult came safe to hand but absence from Dublin prevented my replying sooner.
I have to thank you for your kindness in writing to me about my two little books and I dont know that I can say much about changes in them. All I will say is that I prefer the classification of [Genera Plantarum?] & [Dicotyledons?] I have given as I am certain Benthams & Hookers will soon be given up. If not too much

I would suggest that both classifications be given but leaving my books as nearly as possible intact and adding Bentham & Hookers' classification of Mono & Dicotyledons as an appendix.
You may correct two or three little blunders. (now being put right in the 2nd English edition.)
