Dr Sr [Dear Sir]:

I called at your 
residence yesterday but did not find 
you. I have a small package 
for you in which are some 
specimens of genus Strictum, in
flower. When I collected them I found 
none in fruit, and the next time 
I visited the locality it had 
been mown. There are two plants
in the package that I am not 
certain about, the one marked 
No. 1 I found near Amboy
but it grows also near Freehold. 
Please tell me what they are 
and oblige me very much. I saw 
Mr. Lenning yesterday and left my
Flora with him to mark any plant
he may know to grow in Mercer, which is 
not marked; he says he will give me 
a list of the Musci &c of Mercer; do you 
think well of it? (i.e. to publish?

In great haste 
I am with respect 
O.R. Willis
