My dear Mr. Davenport, | 



As Coulter was to be here for a lecture, I waited 

 to answer your point in the light of his opinion. He fully agrees wit 

 me that the case of II. Schaffneri is entirely covered by "VI (2)" of 

 the Rochester platform. It will be some little time before I can get 

 at Fournier's ferns but I will note this one at that time. 



I have not heard anything of Pr ingle since you have. He sent 

 me his picture and said that he wanted me to come down with him in 

 Dec. to collect the lower Cryptogam.s. Coulter told me that there had 

 been a Revolution in Lower ChiQiua^fiua and said that he underJI^stood If 

 that P. was collecting in that region. It may ,fcowever , have only had tht 

 effect to impede the mails. 



Sincerely, 



Greencastle,Ind. ,6 Nov. 1892.
