Dear Sir:- 
Shortly after you left our office, this morning, the en- 
closed note was received from the State Libreirian of New Hampshire, 
asking for inform.ation on several points connected with the botanies. 
We have tried to answer his first two questions as far as our infor- 
mation went, but you may be able to give him more definite informa- 
tion than we have on these points, and also to answer his question 
with regard to the botany of California. 
Allow us to express our gratification at your call upon us this 
morning, and to thank you for the very satisfactory statement of your 
plans in the revision of the Botany We shall be glad to receive 
your memorandum on the mattef, and shall endeavor to do what we can 
to carry out your revision to a satisfactory conclusion. 
Very truly yours.
