          My Dear Doctor


 I fear I have made
 a mistake about the anthers 
 of that Hemitomes. It is not
 Sprague's fault. He had nothing
 to do with it; but Hochstein
 drew, after my directions.
 I am not sure; however
 and must leave it in your 
 hands for the present.
 My material was old &
 poor.


 I forgot all about the [Pterosporoides?] 
 of Kellogg, except 
 the drawing of Kellogg, suppose
 I got information from
 Newberry. Perhaps the name
 only [mss.? [manuscript?]].


 Megazhira grows famously;
 stems 15 feet long
 and many branches.


 Very much obliged for your kind
 care of my Jane.


 A.G.
