          write this morning in haste
to prewarn you.

My respects to Dr. Short;
if I can supply him with any
desiderata from my collections
in the mountains, it will give
me pleasure to do so.

If I had the time, I should 
take the very opportunity to search
the mts [mountains] that L. [Lundgren] has thrown away.

Yours sincerely
Lewis R. Gibbes

Dr. John Torrey.
