Mr. Walter Deane, 



Whitefield, N.H. 

 My dear Deane :- 



Hurrah for DeaneaJ She is a beauty.* I have 

 just received Meisel's proof from Taxon and I am very much pleased 

 with it, and I think you will be also. The plate is No. 27, and I 

 suppose will be out soon, althouA'h it does not seem to be promised 

 for next month . No , no , I never intendedto imply that I considered my 

 correspondence with re^-^ard to the plate as any trouble at all, I 

 really enjoyed doing something of this kind for you. I suppose 

 you have seen the last Gazette. As you do not get tlie Journal of 

 Botany I inclose a copy of r ne of the articles which I think you 

 will appreciate. 



Yours very truly.
