 & Phacelia leucophylla, in your portfolio of that order. 
 And as to those of Fremont's 2d, I suppose I have them

 of Durand. But you had best retain them till I come 
 on. I can readily examine them then.

 as soon as we can secure a few hours of leisure at the 
 same time. You can then select, though even then I find
