Dear Chamberlain:- 
I hear from 1,3rd, Dunham that the Diddle Dam, 
Maine.moss that I called a form of Polytrichum gracile has 
been named 7ar. anomalum bp Hagen. Can you give me the 
# 
reference? or other data, or datum, in regard to it? 
Ain sorry that you could not stop oyer here on your way to 
or from Maine. Shall expect a visit from you. later when we 
can talk mosses, etc. Have you —ot on track of any new 
books, pamphlets, exsiccati, or other interesting moss matter? 
How is the Bryologist re organistion coming on? Any interesting 
gossip floating about Per York? How is the camera? 
Last term I was so crowded wit? work that I had absolutely 
no time for moss work. Phis term will be easier I expect, and 
I am in hopes to do some more work on "olytrichum. 
I saw Znowlton last Friday night and he told me that you 
made a short visit, with him on your way back from Maine. 
Did you see Fellows in Portland, and if so did he say anything 
about the Josselyn Society? 
Kave you ever had any oxporiencc with the corrugated board 
drying press which is described in the curjent Hhodora? If not 
I will say that that article is very .conservative in regard to 
its true merits. 
As you will note this letter bristles with question narks. 
Almost time for the postman .to collect m: 1.1 at the corner. 
Have you heard from Beattie again1 
All about as usual here and all send regards. 
Cordially,
