Dear Dootor 



I have reoeived lately from Dr. Carl Mohr In Mobile 

 a small but pre cious oolleotion from North and Mlddle Alabama; and In- 

 stantly I thought that those reglons, whloh are not very far from you t 

 would präsent a pre tty f leid to you f or a posslble exouraion. In order 

 to make your mouth water for them I enolose a aheet of Querous Durandll 

 Buokley, whloh plant I now know from Texas well enough t but the exlstence 

 of whloh In Alabama I and others have very rauch doubted. Well now f Mohr 

 has found lt again thls autumn. Then you will recelve one leaf of the 

 magnifloent 5-8 feet tall new Croton Alabamanaia, the prettieat Groton 

 of the United States. If thls lustre of silver does not brlbe you f then 

 you are proof a^alnst anvthlnK.
