          absence in Florida and other southern
 states. My affairs require attention
 and I have a larger collection 
 of plants to get in order.
 But sometime when passing through
 NY [New York] I will give myself the pleasure
 of calling to see you. By the way, 
 right on the top of Stone Mt [Mountain]
 Ga [Georgia], in the very shallow depressions
 in the [inserted : bare] granite, where  one would
 think a week's dry weather would
 dry up the water, I found your
 Amphianthus, (I must put in a specimen)
 and an Iovetes! When I get 
 my specimens sorted I will, with 
 your permission, select a suite of
 such as I [crossed out : supp] may suppose
 would be interesting from any cause
 and send them to you.


 Very respectfully & truly yrs [yours]
