 My Dear Friend


 Just now Mr. Rowell has sent me word
 that he will be off for New York directly - I have a lot
 of plants which I would like to have you look over
 but do not know whether Mr. Rowell would like to be
 troubled with them - I can only put up a few
 that now lie before me, two aquatic plants from the
 bottom of Black River Dr. I. B. Crane one 4 in
 the other only 1 inch high - also a small labiate
 plant - Was the Dentaria from Watertown I left on
 your table in New York D. heterophylla?


 Did you get me some labels printed? I have
 sent several messengers to inquire but it has so
 happened that they did not see you - or did not
 take the pains to call at all -


 I can make out for plant paper for a while
 longer - Would write more but, I fear Mr. R.
 will be off. - 


 Yours most cordially
