My dear Mrs. Ruth;

In completing our set of
Humboldt, Bonpland & Kunth I
seem to remember paying
$50.00 for [underlined one] of the three
volumes which ^I presume^ you have,
and to have considered it a
great bargain. Unless I
remember incorrectly, they
are sometimes sold for
as much as $100 a volume.

If you will copy the
essential part of the ^individual^ title
page of [underlined each volume] I
will ^then^ be sure of what you
have (the complete set is
a very extensive one) and
