leaves are entirely different & the plant grows in
ravines instead of old fields.

Undoubtedly Doctor this description is unnec-
essary as you will probably Know the plant
as soon as you see any part of it yet as it
has troubled others as well as my self I thought
best to give a description - bad work as I have
made of it. - & if at a convenient opportunity
you will give me a reply, you will [?, paper torn here]
much oblige your pupil & most humble
servant. My address is. Lockport, Niagara Co

Very respectfully,

Nelson L. North

P.S. The reason I do not send dry leaves
is that they lose their color & appearance &
perhaps now you may get them before they
change so much.
