Dear Mr. Deane; 
I was very glad to geb yonr letter of October 28tb and 
the fine photograph of yourself and the little bird. This is 
certainly very unusual, not so much / maybe^to get the bird to 
drink'as to be able to get a photograph of the process. 
I note what you say in regard to duplicates of the 
grasses that I collected while with you. I had intended to give 
you duplicates of the specimens that I collected in the White 
Mountains and thought that I had done sa . Apparently I have 
overlooked this matter. I will go through our grasses and see if 
I cannot get out a set for you. I should like very much to do 
this after the interest you took in the work. 
Yery truly yours.
