Ottawa Ills. November 30, 1858

Dr Kennicott

Dear Sir

The bulbs were
duly received & have been planted in
pots_ hope to have some flowers soon.
I was aware that I had sent my
order late, but sickness in my
family prevented my attending to
any thing in season. Please save
me a few plants of "Brinkles Orange"
raspberry - say, two dozen, if not too
Expensive. I wish you would some
time send me back my memorandum
& I will add to it every thing I
propose to get next Spring & return
it to you. Have you "Wilsons Albany
seedling" strawberry? also the Delaware
grape vine? If so shall want 100
