          Owing to my having been obliged to Box up my Duplicate
plants in the greatest haste and confusion I cannot now
forward you what I much desire, the Duplicates of
my most interesting plants, and which might be of
service to you in your exchanges. As soon as the
weather is warm enough to work with fire in a larger room I shall
recommence my arrangements of duplicates, so dont despair of me.

Present my respects to Mrs Torrey and give my kindest
rememberance [remembrance] to your lovely children

Am very sincerely
Your Friend
J Barratt
