Mr. Walter Deane, 



29 Brewster St., 

 Cambridge, Mass. 



Dear Sir: 



Your favor of January G received. We shall be very 

 glad to have the two specimens to fill up gaps in the dis- 

 tribution and thank you sincerely for them. 



Dr , Robinson has not acknowledged my offering of the 

 note on Cinna. I did not know but that it had been "respect- 

 fully declined." Yes, the Panicum illustrations are mine, 

 as are those of the Agrostis and Pestuca monographs. I came 

 here at first as illustrator. 



We learn that the Superintendent of Documents has some 

 two or three hundred copies of North American Species of 

 Panicum for sale at 40 cents . We feel greatly flattered 

 at the high valuation placed on it. Seriously, we are very 

 glad that 500 extra copies were printed of this volume so 

 that the revision is obtainable at a nominal price. 



T am glad I visited Gray herbarium before the Gray (and 

 Nuttall) house was removed. 



Yours respectfully, 



Assistant in Systematic Agrostology.
