Nashville, Tenn., May 8th, 1882 



Dear Doctor, 



Of the three Leavenworthia I can send you a Square mile of each of them. 

 I selected what would be good for us. Especially, the Torulosa makes an 

 excellent salad. On the l8th of last month I found in Lavergne on a ten foot 

 Square three together. Thought of you and wished with all my heart that you 

 could have been with me. I have also found Allium mutabile. . . .now« Without 

 examining the bulb, one can hardly distinguish it from striatum. The flowers of 

 L. Michx. are sometimes also caulescent as in Torulosa and stylosa as you can see 

 from the enclosed specimens. I still am not able to judge how much time I can 

 spend on botany. If it is at all possible f I shall search for Euph. Mercurialis . . 



Until later, 



Yours respectfully, 

 A. Gat tinger
