          the Nymphaeaceae as completely
 as possible. If you can, send me
 fruit, ripe fruit of Nymphaen [Nymphaeaceae] [overripe?]
 and [Bonsiner?] [passage?] in spirits
 of wine, packed amongst cotton that
 they are not spoiled by shaking on the
 way here. Are you not able to provide
 for me N[uphor?] [?] europ'n [European] P[?] ?
 In the european [?], which I
 saw nearby [?] I found only 2 or 3 [?]
 other [?] specimens of this rare plant

 open air or in spirits of wine or vinegar.


 Have you no peculiar wants in
 the way of European plants? If 
 so, I will try to supply them.


 Yours most truly
