Indpls Last evening of illegible Dear brother Daniel I thank you for the ferns and for Ponted illegible cordata- that
plant with the illegible of blue flowers, I am glad you sent it because although I had tried to analyze it a great many times
long ago I was per- voked to try again. and as my brains seem to grow I made its acquaintance without much trouble, I have
a specimen of it in Wis one here which I suppose you remember we found at the end of Lake Ontario, when I was trying to analyze
it you lay down in the hot sand hot sun in profound sleep
