Dear Sir,

You're as of  22nd at hand. I have
latterly taken pains to replace the types
of the different species which my father had
under culture when I was a boy but
which [?] the same business value
as the new seedlings. The others I have
collected since have been [?]. I now
have the Hudson Bay staminate originally as I 
F. hudsonica                    suppose bought
to Europe there
from that region

Do --  pistillate - a seedling of
the preceeding grown by me. This is
totally distinct from F. virginiana.
Fragaria vesca (European) [?]
Do -- Alpine or Everley variety
Fragaria collina (European)
Fragaria elatior (Do) both staminate
hermaphrodite
Fragaria indica (yellow flowers)
Fragaria virginiana hermaphrodite and
pistillate as found in normal state
Fragaria lucida (California) entirely distinct
glazed shining leaves. I have collected
it wild and know it to be very distinct.
and so does Reverend Mr. Fitch your old friend.
