 My Dear Dr.


 I begin to see daylight
 with Pub [published ] Docs [documents?]. I have just
 furnished report on birds Pacific
 RR. 900.4 to pp [pages].  I have  
 now only about 600 pp [pages] ref [references]
 titles to 'do'. Mexican Boundary
 report all in type, but
 not read. There will be
 a separate paging of each
 article : with distinct title,
 index etc.


 Newberry is now here,
 he expects in a few days
 to send his plants to Dr.
 Gray, who will send you
 all or part as you may
 wish.
