          ur. Carex Mertensii (young) C. cryptocarpa [Carex cryptocarpa] the specimens very like
the first, C. [caria?]? not doubtful; but certainly not!
C. Hoodii [Carex Hoodii] clear!

McMinn's Carices and all other save the above I
have returned to you today per Express receipt inclosed.
McM. has done pretty well with C. monile [Carex monile]
[Carex] ampullacia
[Carex] Vericavia
& [Carex] Caseyii

On the strength of a very fair specimen of this [added: last] in Department
of Agriculturein my own Herbarium from Dewey himself
marked by him original locality, it must be referred
to C. monile [Carex monile]

What is McMinns address. I may want to ask
him for a few specimens of what he calls C. NovaeAnglae [Carex novae-angliae]
C. McMinnae [Carex mcminnae]
C. tentaculata
[vacgracile?]

Do you wish me to report on his carics to him.

I sent on a box to Dept. [Department] of Agriculture the six
Alaska Carics marked to be returned to that 
Department.

Truly yours
