          If this adventure should be set on foot you
will please inform me as early as practicable what
preparations would be necessary - so that I can
provide myself in the best possible manner!

We have a few cases of sore throat here, One
case proved a fatal without medical attendance
until an hour before death & two more children
are sick in the same family -

The greater past of my plants are already
arranged with the exception of this
years finishing up - And these can soon
be disposed of - My grasses are for the
most part parcelled out as far as Dr. Gray's
labels were sufficient for them, but there
still remain many specimens [added: of grasses] without
labels. - Of you can get me a quantity of
nice labels printed soon I shall be very much
obliged -

Believe me truly yours

P. D. Knieskern
