specimins they should gather
I have written to your brothers
in which letter I enclose this to
you asking him to send me some
& I want you to send me some
so I may be sure to get them
I could find none in that box
I have goten you some snakes &
bugs land lobsters &c all bottled
up as nice as can be. I have not
seen or heard of a mole this spring
although I have givin my workmen
orders to find me one if they could.
I guess that I may get several
before I am throug plowing corn [illegible]
They very next fair day I get
I am going a fishing expressly
to catch fish for R. Kennicott
Many thanks for those Fish Hooks
I will certainly use some of them
I think of crossing the lake to
Saginaw some time this
