    P. S. As Mr. Logan has had two Latin tracts published in Holland, I doubt not but Dr. Grono- vius has sent them to you. The one is on genera- tion. When a convenient opportunity offers, pray let me hear from you. Dear Friend, London, April 10, 1740. I hope you had mine with Mr. Miller s dimen- sions of the cedars of Lebanon at Chelsea * I now come to make good my promise to send you some North American seeds, which 1 herewith send. It will be a pleasure to me to hear from you. I wish you health and happiness. From your sincere friend, P. COLLINSON. , Pray my respects to Mr. Filenius. I send you some English fossils, and the bark of the Lace-tree from Jamaica. Dear Friend, London, April 3, 1741. Mr. Biork being so obliging to acquaint me of a convenient opportunity of writing to you, I could not forbear indulging myself with that pleasure ; in the first place to enquire after your health, and next to know if you received mine with a parcel of Ame- rican seeds. I also wrote to you by Dr. Filenius * This let ter does not appear. t This gentleman was Professor of Divinity at Abo, and after- wards Bishop of Lindkoeping.
