Dear Oollins:- 
This ia a new machine, back-spacer,tab -key, and all 
the fixings, also an Oliver. I have it for the summer only. 
Your letter came this noon, and the reply will go off as soon as I g 
get some envelopes. The which is exhausted here. 
Oan you give me a line on the metter enclosed. A certain Miss 
Dautun in Jersey , who wrote me several times at the time of her 
fathers death, seems to think that I am a mine of information re¬ 
garding things botanioal. She wants to know where she can probabjr 
dispose of the driers like the samples enclosed. The samples give 
number of each kind and 0 size. I have an idea the heaviest ons 
are worth about a cant apioe, but think that if she could get $80 
for the whole shooting match , she would be doing well. I do not 
know of anyone that would be likely to buy, but think that she 
might, perhaps, advertise a little. Freight would have to be paid 
b§r the purchaser, of course. 
I have track of a new chestnut locality in town here, two 
young trees. Have not examined it myself, just saw what looked like 
Oastanea when driving by the other day. Will look into it more as 
I have the chance. No especial news, 3ave that it isa terrible yn 
year for worms in the trees. 
If you can send me a line about the samples, returning them, 
I shall be much obliged. 
t' 
Regards to all the folks, 
Sincerely, E.B.C.
