Mr. Walter Dear:, 



9 Brewster St., Cambridge, Mass. 



Dear Sir;- T beg to acknowledge the receipt of your 

 letter dated February S2nd, concerning the flora of the Metro- 

 politan Reservation. I shall take the first opportunity of 

 bringing the question of the printing of the flora to the at- 

 tention of the Metropolitan Park Commission. The Commission 

 meets next Wednesday, and, of course, I shall make every effort 

 to get the document printed at the earliest possible date. It 

 had been the Commission's intention to print it with their annual 

 report and one or two of the Commissioners have, at different 

 times, questioned me as to the progress of the work, but the 

 report had to go to press early in January and so that opportunity 

 was unavoidably lost. 



Yours truly, 



A
