Dr. fiereno Watson, 
Cambridge, Mass., 
Dear Sir: I have written you twice 
in regard to a position which I understood was 
vacant at your place* As I have received no 
reply, 1 am entirely at loss to understand the 
matter . 
Our P. M. here is a very negligent fellow 
and 1 have come to the conclusion that h© must 
be at fault, and so I ara going to register this 
letter. 
If the position is still unfilled at the 
Herbarium, will you kindly inform me what the 
remuneration is, hours of work, etc* I refer 
you to Dr. Thurber, as to myself. 
Trusting this letter will meet with wxkk 
better success than haJWitg predecessors, I 
remain 
Yours respectfully , 
P. S. Have you heard anything yet as to the 
Botany of California? Can you tell me where 1 
can procure the published part of the Synopti- 
cal Flora of N. A.?
