Dear Professor,

I have been
away, and returned very
recently - too late to collect fruit
of the cherries desired.

I collected 63 species of
flowering plants on the side
and summit of Pike's Peak: also
[specimens?] in other [?].

I should like your identification
of the plants, and shall send you
plenty of material if you will
