1419 Taylor St April 24th 1876 John H Redfield My dear Sir I send you another specimen of the Raillardia to which you
refer as new, that is of the one which I think answers to your description. I cant recollect its exact locality but it was
found in the high Sierra above Yosemite somewhere. I showed it to Gray when he was here he then called it R, Scaposa. I will
sit out in a month or six weeks for another seasons exploration in the northern half of the range though my pursuit will be
chiefly geology I will endeavor to do some little for you in plants I am yrs cordially John Muir Coll. 164
