Mr. Walter Deane, 



tJaiabridge, Mass, 



Dear Deane: — 



Please do not think that because I neglect my correa 

 pondence that I do not appreciate your kindness* During 

 tile last few weeks our help has been very much demoral- 

 ized owing to the villainy of one of our clerks in marr7;<* 

 ing and taMing away our yoimg lady bookkeeper, it neces- 

 sitated breaking in new help I have been very busy in 

 the store and my botany has been neglected. My list has 

 been in the printer* s hands now for very near three 

 weeks and is about two-thirds s*t up but printers have a 

 knack of being very slow and it will probably a couple 



of weeks before I can get it issued. I have as yet done 

 no exdianging as I am waiting nn this list. 

 With kindest regards, I remain. 



Yours truly, C. G. Lloyd.
