My dear Sir

Lundgren's plants arrived
two or three weeks since and
I yesterday got an opportunity to run
my eye over them, and selected a few 
where there were duplicate, as you permitted. 
All I have selected I hold subject
to your recal, if desired. Several parcels
are in miserable condition, glued together
and I have not ventured to open them 
as you will find

The only novel thing to me
around those certainly not new, is a 
specimen of Elliott's Schweinitzia which
of course I have left.

I have marked with A.B.C. & D.
