I hope you did not get a chill in the garden. The weather is a little
wrong again, but I am thankful for last night's sunset.
You know our English Bible is only of James 1st time--Stalk is a Saxon
word, and gets into English I fancy as early as the Plantagenets--but
I have not hunted it down.--I'm just in the same mess with "pith," but
I'm finding out a great deal about the thing though not the word, for
next "Deucalion," in chopping my wood.
You know, "Funckia" won't last long. I am certain I shall have
strength enough to carry my system of nomenclature at least as far, as
to exclude people's individual names.
I won't even have a "Susia"--stay--that's Christian--yes, I will have
a Susia. But not a "Beeveria," though----
