Your friend ;*r. ^. A. Lorenx of „art~ 

 ford Ct. has written to me that ho has a fine photograph of the Os- 

 trich „ern which he will s«j d me . 7 have a 4c ed him if ht will allow 

 the use ^v; is . active for making a lent- m sit da from, ] shall 

 be very >j]ad to hay a one of this species, j also have some very 

 fine photographs from Philadelphia of several rare ferns. M r. Da- 

 venport has kindly put all his at my disposal also. 1 wish you and 

 "rs < Kennedy cOLld f nd it convenient to be with us at that time, 

 perhaps you will be on your way, back aid forth from Florida or el- 



se * ere. -- 1 made fcfoa Raphi dos t er;iu rn from Bronx nark,^H. 



microcarp urn but 1 remember now that we thought the Blue Mill one, 

 r T. demissum. 3 have not t.V'Ose species here at home with m^, but 

 will discuss the question further when 1 get up near th« Herbarium. 

 Dr. orout has written to me thai he is a candidate for the position 

 that -nr. Far low off erred Nr. TT owe in August and has a skn d you and m( 

 to help him. Of course, 1 think very highly of his fit^ness for the 

 work, but 1 have already told you. and Dr. Jar lpw th at 1 think Mr. 

 Col 1 has greater ability if prop fee rly guided and assisted. 4** 

 is neater and more methodical than >r. Sromt , n ci 1 - hink is less 

 :nxious to work for show and position than for the sake of the work 

 You perhaps realize this f;-om what little you know if the two men. 

 1 should be sorry to see Dr. r !olzi ngur, who has been muni, ioned als>
