Mr. Walter Deane, 



Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

 My de ar M r . De ane : - 



Your letter of October 30, has just been re- 

 ceived. I am sorry that you have not yet received Mr. Smith's pa- 

 per on "Peach Yellows", but I will look the nntter up. in a day or 

 two. The second part of Dr.Vasey's Grasses of the United States 

 and British America has not yet been printed. Vol. 3, No. 2 is Prof. 

 Coulter's paper on Cactaceae, which I suppose you have. No. 8 of 

 Vol.1 is the last number of these volumes that has been issued. 

 I think you have all the Gontr. Nat. Herb. Did you ever receive 

 the species of Gapsellj. drab a which I sent you just before you left 

 for the summer? We have the herbarium about in shape now, but 

 can only get the exogens and the enjdogens up to the grasses in our 

 present quarters. The grass es , ferns , conife rs and cryptogams still 

 remain at the Department of Agriculture. 



I have just received my appointment this morning as Assistant 

 Curator in the Department of Botany "signed by Secretary Langley.
