species is a mighty poor [[strikethrough] sp [[/strikethrough]] genus and I saw Hens no  -- in Delessert (type of second species) and it is a good match for Hackel's [[strikethrough]] species [[/strikethrough]] type. ¶ I came to Sao Paulo Thursday night and am at the Kalb's, Mrs. Hunnicutt's mother
and sisters home. They are [[underlined]] ever [[/underlined]] so kind. I leave Monday for Matto Grosso
- had to come here to get train.  My trunk of clothes sent from Lavras failed to arrive and I've been terribly anxious, but I heard this noon that it is here and will be out in the morning - today being holiday. I have scraped acquaintance with Dr Hoehne and hope we can get grasses from Inst. Biologica by offering to name their collection. There are a lot of Usteri's. The naming is appalling, at least of Pasp. I got a collection near here - Ypiringa this morning, more natives left in the weedy ground than I'd expected. [[double vertical line in left margin]] Will you please have Rev. Paspalum sent to Dr. Frederico Hoehne Instituto Biologica, Rua Consolacão 27 São Paulo Brazil.  
Very best wishes
