and I've taken too little exercise lately.

We have had quite wintry weather here till within a few days when there has been a great improvement and will have spring upon us at once now -

I will in a few da try to night to send you a mem. of some plants Id like for Tom Baird Prof B's little piece of ground and for Gov't Greenhouse -

I had expected ere this to have sent home a box of things but have really had no time to pack em up -

I saw Sanders and he will send you the Gladiolus bulbs and a lot flower seeds - I also told him to send to Charlie.

Im well and jolly and working like blazes - Love to you all Bob.
