 I want one more plate to work on the stone
 with it. Shall Sprague undertake the new Portulacaceae?


 We await Fremont & your ideas as to what
 more you like to have done.


 Sprague says if he stays here & works with
 me he must have a little house of his own. He

 over him. He begins to enter in to my plans for work
 with some alacrity, for him. He is good bottom.
