          During the next summer. I intend to visit the western part of 
 this state, also Ohio & Michigan. I shall devote a large 
 portion of my time to the collection of the plants &c of the places 
 I visit. If you know of any interesting localities or where any 
 interesting plants could be procured, please inform me, and I 
 will endeavour to obtain them for you. 


 Respectfully Yours
