a fellow! as 1 wrote you before, he lat his wife 
while I was away, and was overwhelmed, as she was

There, my dear Wright, I consider myself very 
much of a gentleman! For your favor of the 12th 
April reached me only this afternoon, and now before 
the sun has gone down I am answering it! Your let- 
ter came very opportunely too. For, though Colonel 
Graham has been back so long, it was only yesterday 
that I got the collection he brought home with him to 
Indianola (and the seeds); and to-day I opened it 
and had looked over only two bundles. And I was say- 
ing to myself, Now if I only had Mr. Wright’s list 
with localities, I should do very well. And ahes my 
letters came from the office, yours, with said list in- 
closed, was among them. The plants look well, but I 
have only peeped into them yet. I am glad if you 
have found Amoreuxia malvafolia, but I have not yet 
hit upon it. 
I am still ey busy with college work, for a month 
longer, and with the Garden; and the Exploring Ex- 
pedition work has been piecabag me, and still will.
