 Dear Doctor 


 Sometime last winter,
 in December, I sent by Clark
 a small parcel to your care, 
 addressed to Eug�ne Baumann, 
 to be called for, & I wrote to 
 him by post to call for it. 


 He now writes that he has 
 not received the parcel, which 
 is queer, for if you yet
 were in possession of it, you would 
 have mentioned it when I was 
 there in January. 


 Can you remember any
 thing about it? Where it went 
 to. If perchance you have it 
 still, you had best return it to 
 me, in an early parcel, for it 
 contains seeds of Cladrastis, which I 
 would save by sowing them. 


 Yours ever
 A. Gray
