P. M. — Boston.
Read a lecture to Theodore Parker's society.
Aster cordifolius abundant and commonly in bloom in Roxbury.
See the privet everywhere with dense pyramidal clusters of berries.
Salsola kali common in bloom, with pretty crimson flowers.
Chenopodium maritimum perhaps in bloom.
Senecio vulgaris still in bloom.
