My dear friend
All this day, since breakfast,
I have been incessantly pressed
with call, & with office business.
Just now I broke off & have locked
my door so that none can get at
me. Since I commenced my letter
I have had two attempts to get in —
— but I "didn't hear them" —
I wrote to Dr. Engelmann, & sent
him what he wanted immediately — not
without hope that I can put up for
him all the Coniferae in my hands
that I think may aid him in pre-
paring a full memoir on all the
N. Am. (excl. Mexican) gen. & specs. of that
family. I promise you that
the plates of Icones Muscorum shall
be dispatched tomorrow. They are ready | 14 Nov 1864 [1] (seq. 779)U.S. Assay Office 3 PM
