 My dear Mr. Davenport 



Will it be troubling you too much to ask 

 you to look over some ferns from Alaska. I have quite a number of 

 sheets although perhaps not of many species. You will probably 

 not find anything very difficult among them, but I fear I have very 

 few or no duplicates to send you in return. I sent you yesterday 

 a copy of my last Contributions which I hope will reach you prompt- 

 ly. 



Yours very truly, 



Assistant Botanist.
