          a line from you, and letters sent to Col. Benton here
will be forwarded to me. Mrs. Frémont will send you
(from my journal) the localities &c [etc] of the plants of
California. Some brief memoranda of plants gathered between
Bent's fort and the Salt lake are sent by this mail. They
refer to such plants only as I had not had time to label
when they were gathered on the march or in my absence
will afterwards send you the list of the plants gathered
between the Missouri frontier and California.

I do not think that I have told you that I have
a son about five weeks old. Mrs Frémont is doing 
well. I will write again and am my dear Sir.

most truly yours,
J.C. Frémont
