 My dear Deane: 



Your batch of Missouri plants is all mounted and 

 the last of them go into the herbariuta this morning. These are 

 nojr only a welcome addition, but it has been a relief to lay them 

 out. I have been working over a Danish collection, many of which 

 are mounted on old small sheets. For the last two or three days I 

 have been demounting potamogetons , trying to cut off the old straps 

 and still to save the specimens. You know what a task this is. 

 When I got tired ^of this work 1 turned to your plants for rest. 



I am putting in many interesting things this winter from 

 many parts of the world. 



We still have sleighing and are in the depths of winter, 

 but we are all well and happy. I hope your rheumatism has now 

 left yoft. / {^J
