Dear Sir

I send you a box of 
plants & minerals concerning which
I will write you more particularly
in a few days.

I regret that I could
not make the collection more perfect
Do not conclude that Mississippi
is deficient in interesting botanical
productions though the lovers of the
science are few.

The minerals I send you are
the same as those of last spring.
I think they are different from
[?] as the carbonate of 
lime is deficient and perhaps 
replaced by other [?].

I am respectfully
your most
obt svt
G.W. Hulse
