Dear Professor Fernald: 
Thank you for your letter of November 27th. 
I am delighted to hear about Mr. Albert N. Steward. 
He sounds like a very good man for our purpose. Of course, 
I would be delighted to talk the problem over with you and 
with him and I will be delighted to go out to Cambridge and 
meet you and him in the Herbarium if that would be convenient. 
In the afternoons, I have to be in my office so I hope this 
appointment can be arranged in the morning. What I will do 
will be to telephone in a day or two and ask for a convenient 
hour. 
In the meantime, I am sending you three reprints 
which may be of interest since they show the kind of work 
that has already been done on this problem. 
Yours sincerely, 
■
