Dear Mr. Deane- 
Your ’'■bug” is not an insect, "but 
a well known tick, Ixodes cookei . 
Everything is as usual. I had a short call 
the other day from your brother, who said he 
suioposed that you were adding a few sheets to 
your already extensive herbarium. 
I hear there has been quite a little rain 
in New Hampshire, and we have certainly had our 
share of both rain and heat.. 
Very sincerely yours,
