 Dear Doctor


 You remember I took 
 specimens of 3 Calif. [California] Compositae


 No. 1 (Valley of Sacramento Stillman)
 = Burnillia [Burrielia] (Ptilomeris) n. sp. [nova species]
 resembling your Dichaeta Fremontii [added: Pl. Fendl. [Plantae Fendlerianae Novi-Mexicanae]],
 but with a difft. [different] pappus.
 This helps, if more help is wanted, to 
 write Dichaeta  & Ptilomeris to Burnillia [Burrielia].


 No. 2. ([?] [?]) =
 Coreopsis, not Aitkinsoniana.
 Whether new, or to be identified with any 
 Eastern species is more than my very
 young and incomplete specimen will tell.


 No. 3. ([?] [?]) = Crocidium
 = Fremont's no. 202 (1846) whether
 it be C. [Crocidium] multicaule or not.


 We got home very well.
