I-'y dear Mr. Collins, 
~)o not be discouraged, go on collecting, and seeig 
ant- 1 - thinkung, and recognizing. I have be-n through the sane woods, and 
come out of it, more or less cheerful and happy. I still have a lot 
of my own collections unnamed, put away and some of other peoples too. 
But as we get more space, more money end more help, I shall get them 
all straight in time, and so will you. I should be glad to help you 
by running them over hrstily with you, if I could. But I suppose most 
of your puzzles, require critical examination. Still we all could help 
if you ohose to get out a set of unnamed specimens, and send them to 
■ t j i~3 
r ‘ j e ' *'* i • ° u t, and rayslef, we couldmprobably help you out between 
us . 
We a11 rerrt in the way you mean, and it does us more good than ab¬ 
solute idleness. It is the outdoor exercise and the pleasure of seeing 
new places and things. I wish you might get down to see us before you ' 
settle down to work again, I think it would do you good. 
Cordially yours, 
i
