          Cambridge Xmas eve


 My Dear Friend. 


 I have been expelled 
 from my study 
 to make room for the 
 young people to-morrow, 
 and it is all 
 'slicked up.' Eaton 
 went home to-day


 There is a considerable 
 parcel of Pichnicha
 plants now ready for 
 you, & there will be 
 some more Australian 
 to add. I will retain
 the former till I get the 
 latter ready, and send all,
