2 Mr Wisely wondered a good deal at your saying that there was a hundred flowers in Cal - to one here. he thought there
was more here than there. I presume the difference lies in his having travel -ed to show his pictures while you are looking
for flowers. I wish I had been with you while you were exploring the Yo Semite valley. it must have been great I saw Mr Wesely's
fine exhibition of California other scenery. his views of this valley were beautiful but of course nothing to the reality.
You will have heard by this time of Mr Watsons death his family must miss him very much but Mrs Watson seems to bear up well.
