          I am working hard, at nine things at a
time, almost.

Harvey explained, at the time why he could not come
to Scientific meeting.

Sorry to hear from H. that Bailey is very poorly.

I do not remember anything about the Fremont
Calif. plant (shrub) you write of (14th. Sept. your last)

Sprague is incorrigible. I can get no
more drawings out of him yet. He will work
at a snail's pace, and I am tired pushing
him when it does no good. Why not write
(for genus) Spraguea, perhaps Spragaea. I
will consult authorities.

Jane is at Beverly, coming up today

Yours faithfully

A.Gray
