Anyone recognise the distinctive handwriting of this fairly early collector?

Quite a few others have been documented, all SLBI and dated 1862 and 1863 (tho' one is dated 1832 - see http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/395249/) but no month given. Several have been remounted together with unrelated collections which is unhelpful.
