          Mag. must come on here and recruit. If she 
 and her mother could spend a part of the summer quietly 
 here, they would both be all the better for it. 
 We have had raw weather; but it is now fine and the garden 
 looks pleasant. Come all hands as soon as you can. 


 I am sorry to hear that mother has been 
 so much unwell. I have been wondering why I did not 
 hear from her. I want to explore some of the beautiful 
 grounds & places in Brookline, Roxbury, Waltham &c. 
 but I fear I never shall until I have somebody to take 
 with me in drives. I do not see how I can wait 
 till July. Cant you come earlier? or at least send 
 on an instalment [installment]? 


 What name had you chosen for the genus that 
 must rest on Justicia brachiata? 


 In great haste
 Love to all. Write soon.
 Faithfully Yours.
