DearSie: — I hope you will excuse the delay in the issuing of my 6th 
Fascicle. Serious sickness in my family has so delayed my distribution that it 
will not be finished Ijofore March 1st., and a week more may be consumed in pack- 
ing and shipping. 
N. B. — On opening this Fascicle a number of fruit specimens will be found 
at top. These, with the exception of the bristly legumes, which belong with 
No. 713, are supplementary to preceding Fascicles, as are all of the specimens 
with labels turned face downward. The large fruit of Swieteida will have to be 
sent by mail. 
Hoping for the indulgence of my subscribers, I remain. 
Very truly, &c., 
A. H. CURTISS. 
Jacksonville, Florida, February 19, 1883.
