From J. T. Rothrock to Asa Gray 22 August 1867
New York
Aug 22nd 1867
Dear Doctor
The names which Mr Darwin is in doubt about are the Atnah and Espyox Tribes on the Nasse River.1 Thurber2 wants an autograph of D. So do I. but as you request I have returned the coveted signature. Should there be any more items I can communicate it will give me pleasure to do so. I am overhauling Thurbers duplicate grasses ect. and enriching my own collection therefrom
In packing those snow-shoes I was obliged to cut the tip of the heel off. There being no box in town long enough. Dr W.3 can however make a nite of it replacing the part.
Yours Ever | J. T. Rothrock
Please give my kindest regards and heartiest sympathy to Mrs G4 in her sickness.
Ill be with Thurber until the 3rd or 4 of sept.5
