Mr. Walter Deane,

Cambridge, Mass. 
My dear Mr. Deane: 
I thank you very much for the check inclosed in your 
letter of November 8. I will put this to Mrs. Chase's credit 
and the record is now cleared up for the year. 
We have not heard from Mrs. Chase as there has not been 
sufficient time for a letter to reach us after her arrival. 
I hope that she will keep in good health and if so I know that 
she will bring in a fine collection of plants. 
Sincerely yoi 
A. S. Hitchcock, Botanist in Charge of 
Systematic Agrostology, Bureau of 
Plant Industry.
