          collection at the end of the season, and I know not but your
kindness will embolden me to add a specimen of at least the
Cyperaceae for your examination.

In your monograph you have followed Dewey in making a variety
of the Carex exilis. It strikes me that it is only the staminate
spikes with too few fruitful scales at the top at least [crossed out: show] so I
should think from watching the plant rather closely.

If convenient and when you have leisure and if you have
plenty of the specimen I would like to have a specimen of an
American scirpus mucronatus which can come by post.

Respectfully,
Your Obt.[Obedient] Svt.[Servant]

P.S. I annex my description of the Scirpus.
