          If the labels of Dr. Field's plants were not misplaced
the plants referred to in your letter as Chenopodium
and labeled Blitum must have been
collected in the State of N.Y. for I have not
found a Blitum or anything I thought such in
New Jersey - but I will look again -

Many thanks for the Pamphlets
P.D.K.

I suppose you have by this time returned from
the CattsKill Mts. - I send a few specimens of my
recently collected Melanthium. I have no specimens
of the mature fruit and doubt whether
any could be obtained for the meadow
has been mowed before now and the few
specimens I left have doubtless been cut off. -

Believe me respectfully yours,
