          energy so necessary for my work, which will account
to you for my not having sent the specimens before.

In the box I sent you a cone belonging to the tree
from which I sent you the nuts or seeds. You
will find one of these contained under each of the
scales. I also put in the box a mutilated cone
from what I supposed to be Pinon Lambertinai -
leaves about 2 inches long, in fives, Cones 16 to 17 inches
long.

Yours very truly
J.C. Frémont
