 My Dear Friend


 The Box containing
 my package of plants arrived in
 the snow storm Saturday evening.


 Many of the specimens have
 had the leaves cut off making it
 impossible to identify them.


 However there are several nice
 plants of the Andromeda. Three
 white Lily bulbs, two manzanitas,
 three Libocedrus decurrens (I think,),
 and a good many other roots all 
 of which I will [heat?] carefully
