Mr Muir
Dear Sir
The package of plants kindly sent by yourself arrived safely this morning via New York. Why it went way around that way is a mystery to me. We all thank you for the attention, and shall value the specimens as from a friend. As individuals we are striving to complete our collections of ferns, of which only the rare species are now in demand. B. [boreale?], N. [tenera?], C. [viscida?] A[illegible]

&c I enclose copy of a paper read to us last spring by Mrs Rust. it is just [illegible]. You will find some errors made by printer. The specimens sent by you will be a fine addition to our club herbu[illegible] and we shall be glad to send you any thing where grows here.
Believe me always Resp’y yours Frances J. Myers Secy.
