Dear Sir

I now send you a plant my children found upon the granite Mountains Mind it is as hot as chilies don't touch your eyes after handeling it Can you tell me the name of it or if it is of any use as medicine

Yours Respectfully

J Brown

Soak the steams in Warm Water and perhaps you will see the flours it will freshen them up
