C. E. Bessey
Respected Friend

Will [thou?] [??] the
freedom of a stranger, and, if not too
inconvenient, inform me whether there
are any works which contain such
descriptions of the species of Sick[?]
to be focused in the middle United States,
as will enable a student to identify
those he meets with in his rambles?

They Botany for Schools contains
the general princiles of classification,
but not descriptions of species.

Thy friend
Joseph Walton.

and if so, please refer me to some of them.
