 Dear Doctor


 Your package came 
 yesterday. I shall look into 
 it presently. I have glanced 
 at your mss [manuscript], which looks very 
 well & neat. 


 I see you have generally written 
 Latin. If you say so, it shall 
 be kept so. I think I wrote 
 Latin characters in the 1st part 
 of the coll [collection] (to New Mexico) which 
 I examined. By the way, 
 have you supplied the remaining 
 Monopetalae for that portion? 
 I suppose that will print 
 first: will it not. Then please 
 revise my mss. [manuscript] & bring it with 
 you, or send on. So when 
 the printer calls that, at least 
 will be ready for him. 


 It will make quite a book, 
 with pictures. We must have 
 $200 a piece for this. It is well 
 worth the money, & I shall need 
 my share.
