Dear r. Blanchard: 
Yours of the 29th is at hand. I hope you 
will reserve, temporarily, a poot set of your distribution of 
the species of Kuhns, Betula and Amelanchier; for our herbarium. 
I dare say your prices will be reasonable, but, in order to 
-ore fully comply with the business regulations at the office 
of the University you had better send me a memorandum of the 
price and the probable number of spedimene in the first lot 
before I send you the official order for the same. 
Very truly yours,
