          of your California plants. You say : I hope
 soon to have duplicates of them for the Philad [Philadelphia]
 Academy...How rejoiced I would have been 
 if you had added and for you also.


 I hope that among the Nevada plants, many
 of the species enumerated in my Pl. [Plantae] Prattenianae,
 will [added : be] found and my new species confirmed.
 So with the California plants published by me
 in Pl. [Plantae] Heermannianae. If you have specimens
 of Durlingtonia to spare, do not forget me.


 With my respectful compliments to your
 daughters, believe me your devoted friend
 E. Durand


 My family begs me to be respectfully
 remembered to you.
