Dear Dr.

Some two years ago Mr. [?][?] [Deusloru?]
of Inwood, sent me a package of plants, which
contained ten (10) California species, collected by the
late Thomas Bridges, for Smithsonian Institute.
They were without names and numbered. In
putting them in my herbarium a few days ago
I found a ticket from Mr. Deusloru saying "send to
Dr. Torrey for names. Send to me if I am alive in
the Spring" I exp [expect?] of Mr. Deusloru died about that
time from consumption. He was a fine botanical
correspondent. The number on the labels are
as follows. 33 52, a [Canothus?], 64 [Lufinerus?], 57
a Lufinerus, 84, 92, 221, 232, 277, and 282.
If you can give me the name of these I will be
greatly obliged.
I sent Mr. Deusloro a package of Nevada plants
numbered from 1 to 60 collected by Col. Lee.
He [added: (Deusloro)] sent names for about 1/3 of them. Those
numbered 24, 32, 33, 36, and 40 he said he could go
over with you. But I presume he died before he
got at it. If he did submit those five plants to 
you for determination. I would be very glad to
get the names of them. I also sent him 75
collected in Cal. by the same person, of which he
sent no names at all.
