          portunity to examine it soon, for Prof. Dewey
 to whom I had written some three weeks [since?]
 and mentioned this Carex among others things that
 I had found here expressed a great anxiety to
 have a specimen, or even a spike or two sent
 him in a letter.


 I did not send it last week
 but I think I shall this week.


 This Carex comes
 out early and if you should happen to come
 to our Sand City about the first or middle of May
 I think I can show it to you in a flowering state
 together with a dozzen or more other fine things.


 When you get through with the examination of
 the Carex, will you be so kind as to send Dr, Gray
 a specimen or two, also to the Messrs Carey's?


 I think there will be no difficulty in collecting
 100 good specimens next spring and I have
 none More than 100 good specimens left.


 I hope when you come down you will be
 able to stay a week or so.


 I want to show
 you many things and ask one hundred questions
 or so that I cannot think of now.


 Mr. Wm E. Schenk was ordained today. We had
 a full house and all went off well.


 In haste


 Believe me truly yours


 P.D.Knieskern
