Dear Friend, 



Now I am home again, I don't like the four ^alls ^nd yet I am also back 

 at the school. But what eise could I do?. I refused the offer three times, but 

 finally went into the trap. 



Also writing is hard for me. Oh, this -onderful summeri 



I still found Juncus which I höre you will like, As soon as they arrive 

 I shall send all the material. 



^our two letters of August 29th and September Ist I have in front of me. 

 Thank you for your kind correction. Yosemite Valley is at the Mercer River, 

 North Fork. 



I have a lot to say about pines , oaks , some about Juncus, but God, it is 

 so hard for me to writei I hope, thei?lore, that you will be kind enough to 

 excuse me for several d?iys. I shall not wait too long. 



I found: Pinus flexilis ? Isothecium, Ohara, I8 species of grasses which 

 were not collected previously either by me or by Brewer. Many Oarex , 

 magnificent mosses, beautiful lichens and other beautiful things in large 

 quantities. 



With best wishes, more in a few days, greetings, 



Yours 



Bolander,

 Oollected Mendocino Oity, May.
