          Altogether I shall have a busy winter, in
writing a Report of the last compaign which
much be presented to Congress before March, &
in preparing for another. The plants
will leave this place Tuesday morning & I will drop
you a note where to find them. You will
find a small parcel containing some of the
fruit of an accacia (?) of which I have been
able to find no description. If not destroyed
you will also the [added: find] leaves & fruit among the plants
in the paper. Among the plants you will
the wood of the artemisia (a tridentata) & a
salt shrub which I can indicate to you among 
the plants by the number. The mat I
thought would interest you, as it is made from
the Ammoli a California plant which is
in the collection & will be recognized when we
compare numbers. I conclude now this 
disjointed letter & hope to hear from you soon
in reply.

I am my dear Sir
very truly yours
J. C. Frémont.

Dr. Torrey.
