          And Sept 3rd

Frontera 8th May 1842

D Sir

I send you by the Brig Triumph
Capt Kimball, consigned to Howland & Aspinwall
a barrel containing several plants of the palm
family. A sensitive plants, & some plants parasites.

They must be taken out carefully to prevent
the earth falling from the roots,

I sent you some plants by Capt
Ramsdell, [schooner?] & Southord, consigned to
Bouchaud & Thebaud South St. which I presume
you have as also my letter of march from the
Finto, twelve leagues from Palenque, I also
sent you two boxes of plants from the Palisades
to the care of the American Consul Laguna, his
consignees are Howland & Aspinwall there are
or should be in one of the boxes a face & a whistle taken
from a large indian mound at [?] some of the plants were
collected more than 100 miles from where the others were.

Truly yours
E.P. Johnson
