Dear Sir – I herewith
send specimens as requested
except [Acidium lanthosyli?]
all of which were sent Ellis.
Write him for a spec.
[Puccinia hieracii?] was on
a specimen of [Hieracium?] in
my herbarium, which now
belongs to Fayette University
Fayette I[a?] – and when I
sent it away I omitted taking
off a leaf.

Yrs. Truly
E. W. Holway.

Did you discover
what the [Acidium?] was
I sent you before?
