ago or more, & two days after
a short note, for your consideration.
As I hear nothing , I fear
that poison is upon you or
in you, & making you sick.

the name on another plant,
& what that other plant is named.

With high regards

Your Obdt.

if you have another,
I have worked over this

precious to me.
