          has the appearance & probably is a Yucca. I shall put 
it in the pot in the house & if possible keep it over 
the winter. I have a Glottidium four feet high, but it 
shews [shows] no signs of flowering.

Has Dr. Gray returned? If so, when will the next 
no. of the Flora appear? Have you heard anything 
from Barratt from Buckley. Is there any possibility 
of obtaining any herbarium papers this fall? I want 
very much to see the [suit?] of willows that Barratt

soon after the receipt of this and advise me of what 
is going on in botanical & scientific world &c.

I am Sir yours &c.
