Sir
You sent some little time back for the seed of this small plant. I have proucured the seed but I am afraid it was to ripe for the seed is dropping the nearest lake is a salt one distance eight miles and a Fresh water one distance twelve miles I proucured the Flower on the side of a ridge or a small hill running through a plain about a mile from my home. I have only seen it in two places both on plains the other scrubs it was to late to procure their Fruits or seeds
hopeing to procure you some more shotly2
Yours Faithfully
Alice Eaton.
