          might be something worth looking after in this
newly settled region. The vegetation some 30 or 40
miles south in the State of Pa. appears very different
Producing many plants not found in places where
I have traveled in New York whilst many of the
common plants found here and elsewhere are altogether
wanting.

I should be glad to know how much
drying paper would be necessary to carry to make
the trip through the southern counties, & if you
can give me profitable [added: advice] in managing to the best
advantage it will be thankfully received.

Would it be worth while to collect some of the
roots of Cypripedium pubescens, & C. acaule, of Arethusa
bulbosa etc. with the Cypripedium spectabile to send away?

But I will not trespass on your time any longer
but please inform me what plants particularly you
would like from those places I intend to visit

Belive me truly yours,

P. D. Knieskern
