          to accompany Prof [Gunager's?] report.

Thank you sincerely for your 
very kind offer to send me plants. 
At present I am more specially interested 
in the Gramineae & Cyperaceae. Of the 
former I would be very glad to receive 
any of the Texan or western prairie grasses 
& of the latter, Cyperus, Rhynchospora
Eleocharis & other Scirpoides.

I have the promise from a gentleman 
who has a farm in SW. Texas on to 
San Antonio to make a full collection 
of grasses this season for me. If he 
keeps his promise I hope to be able to 
share with you.

I will send my package by Express 
as a safer mode than by post not 
prepaying so as to insure delivery 
(as I have been requested to do in other 
cases)

Yours very truly & respectfully 
H.W. Ravenel

The package will be sent 
today.
