 My dear Deane;- 



I have just received your" Flora" prepared for the 

 Metropolitan Park Cormiiission . I am very much pleased with it. 

 The only correction which I sixjuld make is that your name should 

 appear upon the title page. The three accompanying maps will be 

 helpful. 



I made a flying trip to Indiana 10 days ago. I send you to- 

 day a short paper on Tradescantia micranth a etc. 



You r s ve ry t m 1 y ,
