Dear Mr. Davenport, - 



That is a good ar tl cl e yours and I think t shall 

 give It flrart pi ace in the Bulletin. Your Illustrations, however, are 

 something of a problem, j shall use one for frontispiece hut the paper 

 in the holy of the maga/.i ne is not of a Kind, to take photo -engravings. 

 Now what shall we do 9 We could renoduee the page from +v ip book as ou>" 

 frontispiece and make a drawi ng of the specimens In line + o run in tha 

 bofty pf the mft/jaT* ne , of we uroul^ have the photos r euro due ed hy a course 

 screen, something li v c newspaper cuts &nfl mn them in the tody of the 

 magazine. Possibly we might run the 1 ±11\\ st nation of the specimens in 

 this issue and use the photo from the hook for the April frontispiece. 

 I will wait until T hear from you before proceeding to make the illus- 

 trations. 



V'e did not have tauoh o- 1 * a time at -New Orleans. ,„here were 

 not many "botanists present and we dispensed wi th the reading -of papers 

 at the "com Meeting. 



Wishing yo\i a happy new year, I remain, 

 yours sincerely,
