Mr. Walter Deane , 

 Shelburne, 



New Hampshire. 

 Dear Mr. Deane: 



Replying to your very kind letter of May 29th, 

 I am sorry to say that I doubt if I shall be able to send 

 you any of the forms which you mention in your letter, 

 these being very rare or mainly varietal states which are 

 not commonly distinguished by collectors. I can, however, 

 send good specimens of a considerable number of species 

 Cat will make up a package this fall, including some 

 Lycopodiums in the lot. 



We heard a few days ago that Dr. Rose had arrived 

 at Bahia safely. 



With best wishes for a pleasant summer, I remain, 

 Your 8 very sincerely, 



Associate Curator, 

 Division of Plants.
