 brother. . 



I am delighted, that you will do something for our quickly 

 developing Pollichia. The bastards interest me much 1 . If both your 

 Cirsii" appear together, then bastards are probable.. Please observe,, 

 and, also, ^or other Compositae. That the Cuscutae , gave you pleasure,, 

 pleases me. I have Witten all over the world for Cuscutae for you,. 

 and hope to hunt up something for you a^ain,which you shall some 

 time reeeive with the the first printing of my Cichorlaceologry, . 

 Best thanks for the seed of Lygodehania . I will write to Webber 

 about Cuscuta. 



I repeat my request to send my Compositae onlyv and to contribute 



that Iy4rill get by and by a complete collection of that busy family. 



As far as north-americans are concerned, you certainly could help 



me,and I would gladly serve in response, where and how I can, evenr 



pay, if that be preferred..
