Letter of George E* Davenport 
Medford, Mass. 
April 30, 1879 
Mrs. Myers, 
I return an acknowledgment of your notice of my election 
to a membership of your Club but I am almost too tired to 
write at any length. 
I have passed through a period of great anxiety; and 
trouble, but we are deeply grateful to God for having spared 
our child and I am beginning to breathe freer. 
I have just looked through a large collection of Flind’s 
ferns from which I hope to be able to secure duplicates to seeind 
to Syracuse. 
I have not yet heard from Dr. Perry, nor have I been 
notified of election to OnondagiK* Club, Ithink you told me once 
that I had been. 
Look out for some interesting notes from Prof. Ea±e£« 
in the next Bulletin. 
Mr. Edwards is getting out a new Check List. 
Respectfully, 
George E. Davenport
