 My Dear Friend!


 Yous has
 been received, by the hand
 of Mr Schenck - Your request
 to send you some
 Arenaria squarrosa and
 Hypericum prolificum would
 be gladly complied with
 if I would find any way
 to convey them - I inquired
 of your brother Mr Wm T.
 when there would be an
 opportunity to send to
 Princeton? He said it
 would be very uncertain


 I am laying out plants
 for Mr Field as fast as I
 can now - I have had a
 real siege in tightning my
 roof & have succeeded pretty
 well -(all well) yours truly


 P.D.Knieskern
