 Mr Leggett

 Enclosed find P.O. money 
 order for $2.00. Please enter me as a paid
 up Subscriber to the "Bulletin" for 1879 & 1880.

 Do you remember that several years I
 directed attention through the "Bulletin" to the 
 viviparous growths on the spikes of Scirpus
 atrovirens & S. polyphyllus. I send you today
 a specimen of Scirpus whose stem has been
 broken & whose spikes rested in the water of a   
 small brook & [?] into [?] that its "bulblet"
 [then?] put forth both leaves & roots of
 considerable length. I will try & secure  
 better specimens another season. I send also
 imperfect specimens of Lechen [Lichen] sent me from 
 Toledo by I A Sanford. I requested him to
 secure later specimens. These are the first 
 [?] of Ohio Lichen I have ever seen.
