 date were duly received. I have asked that

a copy of the Agricultural Report be sent you 

 j and you have doubtless received it before 

 j this time. Witti regard to Mrs. Gray's ques- 

 i tio«s,I would state that I was bcrn,at least 



I so I have been told, near Liberty, in Union

i Co ., Indiana, January 11,1862. Dr.V/atson

I named the genus Rhodes ciadium (Proc. Amer. 

 I Acad. 25: 151^1890) for me. As L. II. Bailey 



has said, it was rather an obscure compliment.
