My dear Mr Collins:— 
Your note rec. Please take your tine,after your col. 
year is done will be time for me now that I know it. I shall have Dr. G's 
mosses to mount later as he is too busy now.I hope you will be with us and 
/ 
do whatever needs to be done at the last. 
In regard to the date at which it is advisable to begin ones list, 
my idea is to have a representative list of work done. If your list is a 
long one take from it the more interesting species and let the rest go. 
For most of the members their work covers only a year or so but those who 
have been students longer have a correspondingly long ane-,they vary from 
twenty sn. to 123 I believe is the most so far in. So just make out as good 
a showing for yourself as you can and I shall be pleased. As an officer I 
am particularly anxious to have your work appear. JlAj 
I am honing to see Mrs Britton soon and have a talk as yet it has all 
been done by letter I hope for a good meeting. 
Cordially yours,
