Medford, Mass. 

 My dear Mr. Davenport : - 



Your card of recent date is just at hand. 

 Yes, return the feme in the same way as you received them. It 

 will be necessary , however, to put a new frank upon the box. I in- 

 close a half dozen or more. I thank you very much for the trouble 

 to which you have been to in naming these plants. 



Yours very truly, 



Assistant Botanist.
