My dear Sir

In a note¹ addressed to me to Buenos Ayres some eight months ago you asked me if I could send you the seeds of some hardy plants[.] At the proper season a friend who knows something of botany of which I am very ignorant collected a few which I have brought over with some of our so-called "Air-plants"[.] These are very hardy and thrive well in our verandahs [2] in garden railings, or indoors[.] The thermometer frequently falls to freezing point sometimes to -2 C but these plants are uninjured[.]

Will you kindly let me know the best way of conveying the parcel to you —

Believe me | yours sincerely | John Cogleton² [signature]
