My dear Dr. Watson: -- 
The proof with its accompanying MS. came duly to hand. 
I am sorry to have to disappoint you again in the matter of publica- 
tion by not printing the notes which you send v/ith the one of which 
I sent proof. When I send out galley proof to authors I correct it at 
the same time by MS. and return to printer ,afte r which it is made up. 
By the time that I receive corrected proofs from authors the Gazette 
is paged, and I incorporate their corrections on the paged revise. 
You v/ill readily see why I cannot add so much matter as you send. It 
v/ould involve entire rearrangement of the bulk of the number. I know 
that this is not an ideal way to manage, but it is adopted to save time 
I see in a receit catalogue of FriedlS,nder & Sohui that Hooker’s 
Musci Exotici with uncolored plates is quoted at 36 marks. If this 
price is satisfactory to you for the copy I brought with me I v/ish ycu 
would make out a bill for the same against the Univ.of Wis. Will you 
also include in the bill a copy of L & J’s Manual ? I want to dispose 
of one copy that I tave already ordered; and it is necessary to have it 
in proper form. If you v/ill make out bill on your paper in the form 
enclosed and mail it to me I will see that the money for the Musci Ex- 
otici is forthcoming.
