Letter from J.M.F (?) to Increase Allen Lapham, January 1st

Chicago, Jan. 1. 1873. 1029 Mich. av.

Ansd. Jan 13 -

My dear Dr. Lapham:

I have accepted conditionally, i.e. if weather & health concur, an invitation to address your academy on the 11th of February next, on the subject of our Antiquities, particularly in reference to Ethnology.

I hope to meet you on that occasion and visit your place & also Burlington. I let the good weather of the fall slip by, for I was engaged in a train of thought which I disliked to break off, then came the horse disease, then the Arctic breezes &c.

I sent you my paper on skulls. The full report will contain many more drawings. I don't believe that Preston's generalizations as to the unity of the ancient population of this hemisphere will stand. Your skulls disprove it.

Very truly,

J. W. F.

procured? I have just finished writing up a little historical sketch of the Upper Min. which may be published.

The plant enclosed in your letter is Thlaspi cochleariforma &c. including [T. Fendleri?] [??] it is quite variable growing both at high & low elevations. I have gathered in on the summit of [illegible] Peak over 14000 ft.

You must go to Colorado next time & take one of your daughters with you.

By the way, where have you found [Aspidium fraprans?] grow plentiful enough to gather 1000 sorts without injuring the locality?

Glad to hear from you often.

Yours truly

C. C. Parry
