I hear with deep regret
of the severe storms and cold
in your region this winter.

Better come over here. Try
to get a portion in Stanfords
great University. [H?]e will need
thorough scientists, like yourself,
men who have a good knowledge
of plants in general, and
can look broadly over the field.

Of course he may be already
provided for. I have no knowledge
of his plants, whatever.

The sale of the ground where
our herbarium is located necessitates
a removal soon, and we do not
know just where we re-locate.

Mrs. Lemmon & I remember
with great pleasure the prized
interviews we had with you at the
fair, and also have read with
great satisfaction your comments
upon our botanical exhibit.

Did you go down this winter?

The best of our plants are there
and no doubt, are all spoiled. Our
sacrifices have been great, so great,
but our satisfaction is equally great.

Mrs. L joins in warmest regards
to you.

Truly yours J. G. Lemmon.
