Dr. Sehr ±s still here and does not know himself when he will leave, since 

 this is not a good time to seil« 



It is true that I met the old gentleman Dr. Torrey; he is kindness itself. 

 He never rests, always wanders off to distant and curious places. He visited 

 Glear Lake, New Almaden Quicksilver mines, Yosemite Falls, Santa Barbara Goal 

 oil fields, Reese River in Nevada, taking with him every everywhere the 

 inevitable plant paper. He will have to teil you a great deal. 



I thank you in advance for the shipment of books. You raake rae feel 

 ashamed and I have to be very diligent so that I shall not be found suspicious 

 of ungratefulness. 



My best wishes to you and let me hear from you soon« 



Your obedient friend, 

 Henry N. Bolander« 



Hall, Bebb and Canley gave me many presents. The western part of the 

 Mississippi Valley is not represented very much.
