          plant allied to gerardia - what is it?


 I received a letter from Dr Hale to whom I have 
 sent in return for his splendid envoice, as many of our 
 Pa [Pennsylvania] plants as I could get. I expect another autumnal collection
 from him. The young Tenenean is a friend of my 
 old friend Troort; He has given mw a few plants and 
 promises more for the next year


 Yours respectfully


 E. [Elias] Durand


 in great haste.
