          I found a grass on the way which I have
 not yet made out In an old field where
 we turned out of the way of the fire when
 we went in company two years since -


 Respecting your inquiries concerning the Convallaria
 umbellata I am satisfied there is no mistake
 but that I saw the plant in Miss Hazeltine's
 collection I examined it closely and compared
 it with the description; It attracted my
 attention particularly as a plant I had not
 before seen. - I have Buckley's C. umbellata
 from the mountains and it is precisely
 the same thing - All my Hazeltine's
 plants were collected about Jamestown and
 about this I inquired particularly and
 she said it was found in the neighbourhood
 - I should like it to accompany you
 to Long Island if you will inform me
 when when you are going. - If you write 
 your letters on Saturday I shall get them on
 Tuesday our Mail day is changed from
 Thursday to Tuesday each week - 


 I would like to see you for a few
 hours very much. Please write when
 it is convenient.


 Yours respectfully


 P.D.Knieskern
