          Some of the plants in your list I cannot obtain
without going some 10-15 miles which is quite
awkward just at present. If I had a little Botanic
Garden I could pick them up at any time even
in the middle of summer and have them ready
at any time.

The house I live in is that one
on the left side of the road as you pass the Meeting
House from the store and only about 30 rods
from the Church, not the house at the Willow
tree which was talked of when you were here.

That little child of Mr. Garthwait was a great
deal better when I returned with my family. She is
now on a visit to New York.

There has been a petition got up to have
me appointed Post-Master but no commission
has been received at this Office. The Office
is not worth much here except for the franking privilege
which would be a small saving to me.

I will also send you plants tomorrow if it does
not rain and if Mr. Wm Torrey can carry them conveniently.

Believe me truly yours

P. D. Knieskern
