Dear Mrs. Horner: 



Mr. Pax on and I returned home last 

 evening, after having had a delightful visit 

 at the Bald Pate Inn. Thanks for your letter 

 and map. We succeeded in finding the Caulo- 

 phyllum, which was growing .in great abundance, 

 and was in full flower. We secured specimens 

 both for ourselves and for the Botanical Club 

 of the Herbarium. It will give me pleasure 

 to keep you posted as to what the Botanical Club 

 are planning to do for our New England Herba- 

 rium, and it may be that some of your spec- 

 imens would be very acceptable to them, as your 

 name is so frequently mentioned in the Essex 

 County Flora that your specimens would have 

 special interest for the Club. 



We were very sorry to think that through 

 your eagerness to receive us hospitably, you 

 should have had an attack of your asthmatic 

 trouble, and I hope you will «#* think it pre- 

 suming in me if I send you, as I propose to do 

 tomorrow morning, two bottles of my Prairie 

 Weed: a medicine which has been quite service- 

 able in many cases of asthma, and has relieved 

 much spasmodic suffering where people are 

 troubled with that disease. I trust that 

 you will accept them wttfe my compliments, and 

 give the medicine a trial, for, to say the 

 least, it cannot do you any harm, and I shall 

 be 30 <?lad if it perhaps relieves you. 



I have been so much interested in tramping 

 about your neighborhood that I shall hope to 

 come again, and if it is not inconvenient to 

 you I may perhaps call, out do not feel obliged 

 to see me if yoS feel in the slightest degree 

 indisposed.^ renewed thankg for your kindG ess, 



1 "* Very truly yours,
