          I am sorry that I have no specimens
 of plants to send you, as
 I have not collected since my connection
 with the Survey for which
 I made the Mojave collections,
 except a small lot obtained at
 Santa Cruz when living there,
 which I gave to Dr. C. L. Anderson
 of that place. I presume
 if he has not sent them to Dr. 
 Gray for whom he collected
 that he will give them to you
 you write to him for them.


 It is hard work living here,
 and trying to get practice with
 poor health and many other
 difficulties to contend with,
 Still the climate east would
 be much worse for me, or I
 would go there and try to get
 a scientific position. Hoping
 yourself and family may contrine
 to enjoy good health
