Dear Sir:-- I thank you very much for the fine specimen of 



Eleocharis which you sent. I regret that we cannot place your name 



on the programme for the paper on Willoughby flora, but it will 



lessen our disappointment very much if we are to have the pleasure 



of seeing you here. I hope that you will come if it is possible. 



We have the beg innings of a moss herbarium which is made up largely 



of Vermont specimens Elected by Mr. Pr ingle , Dr. Blanchard, Mrs. 



Brit ton and .Mr. Grout. I shall be very glac indeed to receive the 



new species you mention, and! I fnist that if you cone up you will 



find something among our duplicates that will be of interest or 



value to you. In case you do not come I will send you a copy of 



a list of our duplicates in the hopes that you may make some 



selections from them. 



Yours truly,
