          The Croton is rare, I have as yet only
 found a few specimens & I thought best
 to let a plant get ripe so as not to
 annihilate the species here - I can
 only furnish one or two specimens & retain
 one for myself - I expect to visit
 White Oak Bottom today perhaps I may
 find something there or on the way. -


 My regards to your family


 Believe me very respectfully
