Dear Sir;“ 
I have roc ntly be :.n appointed Curator of the Bishi p Museum 
And i^' arranging this splendid collection of Hawaiian matters I have tf) 
rcimi unt the plants which have come frrm differ :nt col lec tors, and wish to 
have them unifori'i with my <ywi^ herbarium whicji H,Mann had mou/ ted on paper 
similar to that in use at tJie Harvard Horbariu . Will you kiidly direct my 
friend W. B-Clark, who will cai; on y-u, where he may < btain the paper? ¥ 
shall ne.vd 500 manila g.-,.niis covers'/lSOO speci-rs- 1? ■ ts and 200 "drit-rs. 
I take Edvant^'ge of Mr Clark’s visit to send a few specim ns of 
plants, mostly cul t ivated, which nob'dy iiere knows, and as we have no"Prcdm'> 
mus”' m a.' ythis g else in the way of botanical ir^rks, I ca^r it determine, 
would it be tor, much t ask y u f r the rjames? The tjumb^rs will designate 
suf f ici<.ntly. You will greatly oblige not only me but many other Ir^vnrs r f 
fl'-'wers her Tho Gard^'nia is for the Herbarium, as I th?nk Mart’s speci- 
morj Wi-jT-, d fici nt in' flownirs. 
Hopit.'g that you are well and enjoyit g life, I remain'
