          which Dr. Gray received from
a California correspondent which 
he thought would answer your
purposes of illustration, and which
he hoped to have the pleasure of
showing you within a few days of
the time I left him. That was
why I suggested that a figure
of the shrunk flor. [florescence] of S. gigantea [Sequoia gigantea]
be prepared.

I left with Dr. Gray quite
a number of things about which
he asked to consult you. I
will write him that since you
are neither going to Cambridge
or coming to Washington they 
had better be sent directly to
you. Among them was the
collection of drawings of Cal [California]
plants by Dr. Kellogg.

If you are quite sure that
you are not coming to W. [Washington] this
winter, I should be glad to send
