          At Mendocino as well as at
 Monterey I indulged in collecting
 some Algae. Have we an American
 authority on that class of plants?
 Please let me know?


 Who studies our Fungi?
 We have here quite a large number.
 Has American literature anything
 systematical on that subject?


 Dr. could I obtain through your
 influence what has been published
 on the Algae by the Smithsonian?
 You would do me a great favor
 if I could obtain it. I will willingly
 pay you well in plants.


 In short, if I am able to do anything
 for you on this coast in my
 line, please do not hesitate to
 let me know. You shall not find
 me tardy in any respect.
 Dr. Kellogg and Mr. Bloomer wish
  to be kindly remembered.


 With due regards


 Yours
 most respectfully
 Henry N. Bolander
