          
 Monday Morning. 


 Off for Hickory Nut Gap, where the scenery is said to 
 be very grand, and the botanizing good. I am to get there 
 Asplenium pinnatifidum, Stuartia pentagyna, & Parnassia 
 asarifolia. Hard work, yet pleasant with a 
 companion. I wish you could be with me.
 Very pleasant Sunday Service in the 
 Presbyterian church here. 


 Yours ever


 A. [Asa] Gray
