 Mr. Meritt Lyndon Fernald, 



Gray Herbarium, Cambridge, Mass. 



Dear Sir!--I think I have not acknowledged the receipt 

 of a compositae, which came during my absence in the South, I 

 hope you will pardon me for not having done so. 



I am beginning te receive notes from the different 

 collectors engaged upon the Metropolitan Flora work, and shall 

 soon begin the preparation of a preliminary list. Can you tell 

 me the best check-list of North American plants? I enclose .25 

 for which I would like three copies of the Check-List of the Plants 

 of Gray 1 s Manual. 



I hope you are well, and have enjoyed your Christmas, 

 and that you will have a happy and prosperous New Year. 



Yours very truly, 



Tkw^ /sT^uww"-
