Bear Chamberlain: 
I have Hiked through t; e two books you mentioned 
and two or three others.without,finding the derivation of the 
inclosed words other than the two indicated. These both cane 
from Harnstorf’s Brandenburg flora. It soema funny that no 
booh seems to give the derivation of the generic names. Are 
sorry I cannot hcl; you more. 
Am very glad to hear of your mother's good health; I hope 
it will continue, Father went in to the shop again this 
week. Eis hand is not yet healed completely but he is able 
to do a little. He got proud flesh in the worst cut, that 
is the principal trouble now. The Dr. ic keeping watch, of it. 
?:V regards to your mother. 
Hastily but cordially.
