 My Dear Dr. 


 I have made up 
 my mind, in these hard 
 times not to go to Washington, 
 but I think 
 I can arrange Sullivant's 
 affair without. 


 I could not leave 
 home well till the 
 rest of Wright's collection 
 comes and is distributed, 
 and a full set despatched 
 to Grisebach, who is to 
 name them. 


 (Entr nous Wright has 
 been lazy, I think, & 
 careless, this seems 
 almost inevitable in a 
 tropical country)
