but disappointed that you did not find the flowers knowing that others were looking for them for Sargent, we but hoped you would get them.
We are delighted to learn that you are coming east and both Fay & I want your wife and the girls to come and visit us while you are wandering in the woods, and you must be sure to bring them.

If the forests of Mich & Wis or these central states will [amount?] for the "Atlantic forests" I may go with you.
Am glad you like the tobacco; fearing you might not like it. I only sent you half pound, but you must let me know when you are out & I will send you more. My man has just brought in the Sunday mail which included a characteristic letter from Keith.
Fay joins me - Kindest regards to you all -
Sincerely Yours
A.H. Sellers
