Summary:
Numbered observations on enclosed specimens: 1. a rose discovered by H Templeton; 2. variety of 'Rosa spinosissima' [Smith annotation: "right 'cyphiana'"; 3. a rose differing from 'Rosa spinosissima'; 4. true 'Erigernon alpinum' [Smith annotation: "right"]; 5. 'Erigernon uniflora' [Smith annotation: "right"].
Asks Goodenough to forward this letter to Dr [James Edward] Smith. After weighing the letter was forced to take out the two 'Erigernon' specimens.
