 My dear Mr. Davenport : 



I send by registered mail a package containing some 

 ferns collected by Dr. Palmer in northern Mexico. He is very 

 anxious to have your determinations at a very early date. I think 

 there will be some duplicates to send you if you desire them, . 



Yours very truly, 



Assistant Curator,
