          west coast. How often have
 we talked about you, in the field,
 and at home! how often have
 I regretted to hear from Dr. Parry
 that you are not much given to 
 letter-writing and yet remembered
 your friends.


 Well, dear Doctor, I hope
 you will make an exception
 with me at least.


 I and the old Dr. Kellogg were
 out nearly all summer on the Summit
 collecting. We have done well, 
 indeed. We saw many of our old
 friends and made the acquaintance
 of new once [ones]. I was very fortunate
 in the moss and lichen - "line". We 
 discovered also some new grasses
 and among others a new Dicentra, 
 bearing always but one flower
 and but one little leaf, quite alpine.
