          recording my request for a couple of fruiting
 specimens of Thaspia atropurpurea  [i.e. Thaspium atropurpureum], if you
 come across it.


 Very truly yrs.

 I think you are wrong in referring to Thaspium 
 aureum, to the West'n [Western] part of N.Y. as I never
 saw, or heard of it from any quarter in the State.
 I believe it does not occur so far to the Eastward.
