Mycologia 



Society Hill, S. C, Feb. 4th, 1853. 



Dear Sir: 



I herewith send manuscript. — The hand is a very awk- 

 ward and puerile one, but printers have generally thought it 

 very legible. So I hope there will not be much trouble about 

 correcting proofs. 



I should hke to have the names, immediately attached to 

 each Number, in other words, each species named & de- 

 scribed, to be printed in small caps or italics. I prefer the 

 former. I leave this however to your judgment, & so have 

 not underscored said names. 



I ought to have suggested in my last, that the figures en- 

 graved should correspond in size with the drawings sent, 

 though I hope your artist has already thought of that. — The 

 explanation of figures on the last page of MSS now sent will 

 show the reason of this. 



I shall be glad to hear of the safe arrival of this, and the 

 Drawings sent on the ist inst. 



Very truly yours, 



M. A. Curtis. 



Society Hill, S. C, Feb. 21st, 1853. 



Dear Sir: 



I have your favor of the 15th, & am glad to learn that my 

 two envois arrived safely. 



I do not like to put my inferior drawings upon the same 

 plate with Mr. Berkeley's, & I have not enough to make an- 

 other Plate. I have therefore concluded not to send any. 

 Please remember to send me proofs, & much oblige, 



Yours very truly, 



M. A. Curtis. 



Society Hill, S. C. Apr. 5th, '53 



Dear Sir: 



By last mail I returned proofs of the 2nd instalment of 

 the " Exotic Fungi." — H in altering the Plate (a matter about 

 which I have no knowledge) there be much trouble, the 

 slight correction of fig: 3, a, might be left unnoticed, as it is 

 a matter of no great importance. — The correction in the 

 names at the bottom of the page should be attended to. 



Very respectfully, - 



M. A. Curtis.
