Ukiah, Mendocino Co., April iBth, I866 



Dear Doctor, 



I shall now answer your letter of March iHh from here, my first Station. 



Dr. Hillebrand lives in Honolulu and in that year he made a trip to the 

 Sierras; he is an able botanist and is almost exclusively concerned with 

 pines. Would the enclosed plant be the same^ I found it today here in 

 the Ukiah Valley and collected plenty of it. Please, be so kind and let 

 rae know. I also collected plenty of oaks; but I won't be able to send you 

 the material before autumn. £u. chrysolepais & densiflora are not yet in 

 bloom; both seem to bloom very late. 



I also found Pinus ponderosa here, but you have all that material 



In a few days I shall go further north. If I can trust the reports, 

 I shall find a good crop. 



As I already mentioned, I made an excursion to the Monte del Diablo 

 before I came here. There I found the P. Coult . and also another Chara with 

 fruit. 



Further observations concerning Q. agrifolia show me that 



(rest of letter missing.)
