          money!! 


 I have been too busy to see 
 Sprague this week, but 
 I know the Beckwith drawings
 are all but done.
 So send on the blank for 
 making out the bill on. 


 I will this week write up on 
 Penstemon heterandum [heterander], of 
 which Sprague has made 
 an admirable drawing & 
 also char. [character] of Abronia fragrans, 
 & send on the whole to you. 


 I have been writing long 
 letters to Joe Hooker & to Darwin, 
 with whom I have had of late
 an interesting correspondence.


 I have not look over Stevens pl. [plants?]
 yet. I shall soon, & send you 
 any [Chenopod.? [Chenopodium?]]  as well as Eriog. [Erioglossum? Eriogonum? Eriogynia?]
 unless you are coming to see them.
