          The parcel I sent Hastings
contains some of the things you speak
of. [?] of [?]. Calif. etc.
I believe.

As to your plant 956 E. Ex.
herewith returned. I can add nothing
except that, with all its curious anomalies,
I should know of no other family than
Boraginaceae to which it could be referred.
It has opposite leaves too, has it not? [underlined: no].

I have it in a younger state. I am
almost sure from Geyer's Oregon collection, &
remember that I was puzzled to know, from
external inspection where to put it, but
thought I put it in [Labiatae?] pigeon-holes;
on looking there & elsewhere, it does not
turn up. But among the [Boragineae?]
I sent [crossed out: from] to Hastings. But at any
rate it is a non descript.

Sprague's sister is getting better
& is apparently out of danger. Sprague
keeps promising to finish your drawings
but [crossed out: gets] does nothing at them & little
progress in anything. He is a good deal
worn down.

I have a package ([?], Lichens)
