 My Dear Kind Friends


 I will just drop you
 a line to let you Know what
 I am doing. I have got all
 my plants into covers _ Genera 
 of 3 or more species in
 covers with their names
 on _ all plants between one
 such genus & the next in
 one cover with its back
 turned the other way which
 equalizes the fascicle at
 both edges.
