the other countries that should stimulate your interest. ! have trust in your accustomed 

 kindness, to reserve for me a portion of your collection of the disposable samples that 

 you will receive.You have made me hope for a dispatch before you leave for America. If 

 you are able to keep your word without it causing you any trouble, I will be so very 

 thankful and appréciative. You already have a list of ail the species that through your 

 generosity I have received. Give me ail what you are able to of what I have not yet 

 received. If it were possible I would like you to give me the names of ail the species from 

 New Mexico collected by Fondler. This would be of great service to me. 



Have you been happy with your voyage to Italy? Have you made the acquaintance of ail 

 the botanists? The season was favorable therefore you could "herborize" yourself among 

 the herbarium and the public collections and perhaps even reap a good harvest. 



Accept, dear Sir, the newest assurance of my very sincère affection and entire dévotion.
