Dear Sir: Presume you think
I have forgotten my promise to send you
some mt. flowers! During holidays I've
just claimed time to mount them.

I send you to day by mail about
fifty specimens. Am sorry they were not
better pressed. I have only analyzed a
very few. Accept these flowers as a tribute
of respect and a floral offering for 1886.

You remember Miss Alfa Cambell?
She has accepted a position here as first
assistant in the High School. We [?]
her this week.

Trusting the New Year will bring you
joy, peace and prosperity.

Am Respectfully
Lizzie Owen.
