y dear Deane, 
I can make out nothing from your Equisetums but E. hiema- 
ie tho they are decidely small, I have been so busy that I have hardly 
had time td» breathe since I September. Do you want a specimen of Belem 
canda in partial (blackberry) fruit or is your Herb, well supplied in 
ais direction? I have also a Hibiscus that is not in the Manual and 
as soon as Britton decides what it is I will send you that if you want 
t. Do you know that you still owe me a photograph and I am just 
aching to get it to fill its niche. Was sorry not to see you at Madi¬ 
son and fear that I cannot see you next yea* at Brooklyn altho they 
made me president of the Section. I am hoping to be in Europe next 5B 
Summer. What has become of Bebb? Ho one has heard from him in a long 
time so far as I know. 
Sincerely 
/F/S.
