Dear Doctor Kennedy, 



Dear Sir, 



»?any thanks for your kind 



letter of the 30th of Jan. which promises to send Buxbaumia again 

 to me, if you find it fre|sh, and also asks if we want any Tetra- 

 plodon angustatus. Yes, we can make good use of it, and shall be 

 glad to have some for our correspondents, and special students. 

 Yes, T have written to W.H.Gibson, asking him if he wont try his 

 wonderful pencil on the mosses, and telling him how much we have al]^ 

 enjoyed his book on the fungi, as well as " Sharp eyes'i and others. 

 The next number of the Observer will contain an articej on Buxbauma 

 and Diphyscium, which perhaps you may recognize tinder the tfilc of 

 "The Hump-backed elves"! shall send a copy to W.H. Gibson, and shall 

 be delighted if at the same time you can send me some of the plants 

 to go with it. I distributed all that you sent me last year. 

 With many thanhi for the Tetraplodon, 



sincerely yours,
