          Mrs. Mann's
July 28th

Dear Sir,

It is singular and not a 
little provoking that your note of Saturday, 
dated at Mrs. Mann's was 
not delivered to me until Monday 
at 4 O'Clock. Of course I lost the
opportunity of seeing you that day. 
I have left my plants for you at
Mr. Donaldson's 17 Broad Street.

Amont them are Pendstemon [Penstemon] dissectum
El., two shrubby Polygonums, a 
white flowered Gentiana, (probably
undescribed) Mr. [Thomas] Nuttall's Sarracenia
which I think is S. psittacina
of Mich. Also a specimen of Chrysoma 
solidaginoides, Nutt. found
on the Sandhills and Brier Breek, Ga. 
along with Ceratiola ericoides.

I remain truly yours
HB Croom
