Mr. Walter Dean©,

 Cambridge, Has a. 



Pear Mr. Deane: 



I am sorry that I have no specimens of Eru cast rum pollichii 

 to send you. The^specimens I got in Vermont years ago are glued down 

 on a sheet in my herbarium, and the one from West Virginia, which I 

 recorded recently in Rhodora, has been turned in at the National Her- 

 barium. I have little doubt that you could obtain specimens from Mr. 

 0. A* Stevens, Assistant Botanist, North Dakota Agricultural College, 

 Agricultural College, North Dakota. I will write him telling of your 

 interest in obtaining specimens, and would suggest that you do so too. 



It is very difficult for me to realise that Miss Day is no 

 longer at the Gray Herbarium. We are all going to miss her very much 

 indeed* 



Very truly yours, 



Assistant Botanist.
