 Dear Dr. 


 I write you this morning 
 before receiving yours of 28th inst. [instant].


 I cannot think the parcel 
 [fr.? [from?]] Express is lost. I will ask 
 my Express-man where he took 
 it, probably to Kinsley's Express. 
 Demand it of Kinsley, Adams &
 Harnden. 


 Will you set Hochstein at 
 one of those long-flowered 
 [crossed out: Ansonias?] Echites or Ansonias 
 or both.


 Have you made any arrangements 
 about the drawing of Scoliopus? 


 I have no belief in any of 
 Klotzsch's Momisia being the
 Tex. Mex. [Texan Mexican] species we have. Compare 
 characters, none agree, but I 
 look only cursorily.


 As to Leucophyllum minus,
 I saw no intermediates, & after 
 podging over it some time came to a conclusion,
