My dear Mr. Collins:— 
I have, intended writing you for sometime past first 
to thank you for your Sullivant Report and then to let you know of the plans 
for the future regarding changes in the Bryologist. This has been a busy 
time as you know as all this chapter work and now the journal business is 
in an entirely new line for me'. The regular work I can keep pretty well in 
hand but when it comes to running a magazine or helping to do so it is a 
different affair. Dr. Grout has associated me with himself as editors of the 
Bryologist and we are to publish it ourselves and have it as a partnership 
business.The Size is to be doubled beside the cover which for the first 
year at least will be plain like Rhodora,with printing on it. The subscrip¬ 
tion price is raised to fifty cents,it is given to Chapter members and(I 
mean to the Active ones)and the Associayes are to have it for twenty-fife 
cwnts which is the same thing as though they paid for active membership and 
this is what they will do I fancy and we shall have done away with that 
class by another year. How does this strike you? Please give us your ideas 
and suggestions.As far as the journal goes I represent the interests of 
the Chapter and Dr.Grout looks after those of the subscribers. Dr.G. it is 
needless to say will be the editor and I will be the sub.and do as near as 
possible what I am bidden. The January issee will be printed as usual in 
Binghamton and sent to me and I will do the mailing. After this we may print 
here or make a different arrangement as seems best.I think you will be 
pleased with the Chapter work for the year,and I hope next year to do better
