          hoping for a little sucess.


 My Darlingtonia continues to
 improve -several new pitchers
 are being sent up.


 There was no specimen of this
 plant in my package but as
 my one specimen is growing I
 prefer to let some skillful florist
 experiment on my share of the
 last box. Of the two I sent
 Mr. Meehan last summer, one
 was designed for Dr. Porter, but 
 Mr. Meehan did not inform Dr. P. or myself
 of its fate. Perhaps Dr. Porter would
 like one to be intrusted [entrusted] to some
 florist for him again. If there are
 several under the care of any 
 particular florst in New York and
 you think proper let one be
 grown for Dr. P.


 Yours very Respectfully,
 N.J. Davis
