          work on western botany?

You had the kindness [?]
years ago to send me specimens
of Fremont's collections, numbered
or lettered. Have you named them
since, and how could I
obtain your names. The [Pines?]
could interest me now especially.

My intention was last year
to visit New York Philadelphia
and Cambridge to study my
brothers Utah plants etc. but
times prevented me and I
do not know now when I
shall get there.  [?]
[?] being in a most [?]
state with us.

Ever truly

yours
