 Evening 


 Dear Dr. 


 Yours of 24th just 
 came. This morning I got 
 my first letter from 
 my wife, who is much 
 obliged to you, & got on 
 well, was headachy &
 dull, but will pick up. 


 Monday I was obliged 
 to spend all day in the 
 country. All yesterday
 & to-day have been given 
 to Oxylaphus and outlying
 groups, on which 
 I have had considerable to 
 rip up. 


 Now I am must go on fast, 
 as you come to plants wh. [which] 
 I know nothing of. 


 Your "Polygonum subaphyllum
 n. sp [nova species] = P. [Polygonum] camporum, boreale 
 no doubt. You will get my notes so [soon?]
