194 LETTERS TO DR. HOWARD [CHAP. xvm. 



Ambassador of the greatly advanced country to which I 

 am so indebted for help in my work. 



September 29, 1900. 



It was a great pleasure to me (though it was only such 

 a little visit) to make personal acquaintance with Dr. John 

 Smith of New Jersey. Also Dr. W. Saunders (who came 

 for the Paris Exhibition) and Dr. Mills kindly came to see 

 me. These visits are very refreshing. 



Meanwhile I have been learning a great deal from your 

 " Notes on the Mosquitoes of the United States." It is a 

 great gratification to me to possess this valuable work, 

 and my medical adviser, Dr. Lipscomb, is only waiting 

 until I can spare it, to borrow it for his own perusal. With 

 kind regards and good wishes and grateful thanks for all 

 your kind help and encouragement, pray believe me, 

 Yours very sincerely, 



ELEANOR A. ORMEROD.
