My dear friend :- 



It has occurred to me this morning that ycu had probably nev- 

 er seen my papers on Viola and its hybrids that appeared in the Bulletins 

 of the forr. Bot. Club,N\Y. — a.Jburnal in former days not much read at Cam- 

 bridge. So I have selected three numbers that I thought might interest 

 you in connection with the topic discussed in my rather dry letter of yes- 

 terday. It will at least indicate how much study I have given to this sub- 

 ject in the past. I think the drawings for the plates by Miss Mary E.Ea- 

 ton, an English artist, are admirable. Please keep these papers as I have 

 several extra copies, and dont return the two recently sent you till lateK 

 I am at work writing labels for my California violets. I usually poi- 

 son specimens with an alcholic solution of corrosive sublimate. I think 

 I should send them with mounting paper. 



With kind regards , 



Ever yours faithfully,
