Dear [Bes?]:
I send
you today – in an old [?]
a few specimens of flowers. [I?]
am very sorry they are not more
and that I cannot put them
up in better [style?], but I must
either send them the way or
throw them away, as I have
no time to arrange them.
Today I leave El Paso for the [West?].
Hence my haste. I have
matched up these few specimens
during the hours I perhaps ought
to have rested – so continuously and
hard has been my work
here, and though I have been
here many months yet I
positively have not had time
of my own – even on Sundays to
do this little work of love
which you so much desire of
me. I am recovered from
my late illness and will
[soon?] be on the way toward
Arizona.
Love to all,
[H. N. B.???]
