 Dear Doctor,


 Making out the
 catalogue of my herbarium
 has been rather slow work,
 and it was completed only
 last evening. The carices I
 have marked plenty [check mark] even
 when I have but a little 
 scrab to show. Most of them
 came from Dr. Sartwell & I 
 shall be glad to get any
 of them again, except a few with
 a double mark [two checkmarks].


 I have prepared also a 
 list of the plants I have found
