Dear Doctor,

Have you 
in your Herb.[Herbarium] Nuttall's Strophanthis
heterophyllum and
can you send me a
pod with seeds. Some [?] of
the strophanthis turn out [crossed out ?]
have incumbant codyledons &
[?] to go best in Thelypodium.
This may be one [?] which
you also add a seed or two of Cleonella
Mexicana, of the original C. longifes, and of
the tall plant that is more going by that 
name. I am inching to think that
the seed will give good distinction
