51OFFICE OF Mitchell, Dakota. Feb 13th 1888 My Dear Sir and Friend I have learned with pleasure of your increasing reputation as a Botanist and believe you deserve even more than you have received. I am anxious to secure a Botany which will describe our rich flora of Dakota, We use Grays with Coulter's Manual for Rocky Mountains, but find only a few descriptions which will apply to our flowers. We have a very interesting flora and if no one has described it any nearer than Coulter there is a large field for some Botanist like yourself to occupy. Can you give me any help towards securing what we want? Have you a Botany that covers this locality any better than Gray-Coulter's? The old scenes on the farm come back to me as I write, but I can not refer to them now. Hastily but with kindest regards I am | 51OFFICE OF Mitchell, Dakota.
