I, am enclosing .in this letter a lock of
cotton from some sent to me by Mr. LeWin in Key West,
Florida. Also a bract from a square and a leaf. These
latter came thru in very poor condition but will give
you perhaps a little idea as to what it is. He also
sent a blossom but it was so badly decayed then it got
here that I could not tell whether it had had a hi:il3=-
spot*ar not but I think it^had, the tops of I the toi^s^were
p&SÉfty yellow. The boil was three, locked and resemble
the Sea Island boll and it was my guess that it might be
Gossypium barbadense var. lana-rufumv or whatever it was
that appeared under that name in the collections at Wash-
ington. I would appreciate it if you would be able to tell
me with some degree of certainty the correct name for this.
Sincerely.yours,
