hear Chamberlain: 
In December, IDOL', I obtained a copy of .the 
ovi huil (1753) edition of the peeies lantarum and paid about 
31.00 for it. A little more than a year ago Junk advertised 
the fac-simile copy and I concluded that the copy wpuld answer 
ad 1 my purposes and, accordingly, made a trade with the college 
for- then?to take the original off my hands. I received the 
co y in Deco her. 1906, (although the title cover says "1907"} 
The hanerogams occupy all of Yol. 1 (560 payee) and 500 pares 
of Yol 2. The rest of Yol. 2 contains the Cryptoyams (pares 
1061--1169), Appendix, Index:,, etc. 
I have rarely had occasion tc refer to the work and I doubt 
if you would very much if you had it. •erhaps I can answer 
such questions as you may wish to ask a out it from tine to 
time. Hy advice io to put it ( the money ) into field work, 
or so .".c thing of that sort. 
Thank you for the information in reyard to the Hew York 
schools. Iho e you enjoyed the Torroy Club meeting. Chonld 
be glad to hear about it. How does it strike ‘’you, Aw. various 
ways, ad co ared with the Hew England Club meetings? I have 
never asked anyone who has attended both. 
I trust you survived Thanksgiving in good condition.
