Dear Mr, Deane t 



I have your postal card this morning and regret to say that on looking 

 over ny file of letters I find that I have neglected to acknowledge the receipt 

 of the interesting series of 26 sheets of plants that you so kindly sent to 

 this Museum. I reality, I supposed that, as usual, the Office of the institu- 

 tion had acknowledged receipt of the package. Please accept my most sincere 

 thanks for your kindness in sending these sheets. They add a deal of inter- 

 est to the species represented. 



I enclose you a file copy of a letter I wrote you on the 3rd instant in 

 which I acknowledged the interesting specimen of fruiting Euphorbia, thinking 

 that perhaps this letter might have gone astray, •»« it contained besides my 

 acknowledgement a list of your plants as^ ^latn s ^ ^f^bhi s herbarium. 

 With best regards, I am 



Curator, Department of Botany. 



SIT CLOSURE,
