Percival Lowell FLAGSTAFF April 21st. Wild carrot flower found. This makes four now: Snow-flower

Wood-betony

Daisy

Wild-carrot

Wood-betony now quite profuse, and snow-flower not rare, showing that what I first found of it was not the end but nearer the beginning.

Leave on No. 7 tomorrow, or Wednesday, arriving at Santa Barbara the next day. I want to hear Agassiz's lecture on the Solar System, which takes place on the 30th, and during the performance of which he threatens to chain me in the cellar.

FLAGSTAFF Gloomy days terrestrially though astronomically fine. Mars is fulfilling all prophecies. 82
