Dear Collins 
I sent you today by insured post the 
copy of Loeskes Grimmiaceae and have charged your 
SMS account with $4.50 the price of the same. 
I will see that you get your copy 
of Dixon & Jameson when it arrives, I have no idea 
of the costs. I sent Dixon a blank order for 
several copies. I do all this through the SMS 
funds. 
I will keep in mind your request for the 
copies of MiSller, Polytrichaceae, and will order 
whenl am sending for some things myself to the 
same firm, which will divide expense and postage. 
You s£ate that there is no hurry. 
I expect Henry and Mrs. Chamberlain to ar¬ 
rive here Sunday on the steamer from Jaaksonville, 
so am trying to have the decks clear before they 
arrive. 
I will try to keep you posted as far as 
possible about books etc. I am slowly getting 
in touch with folks abroad and am building up 
connections. Am doing about the same things for 
Beals and for Bartram as indicated for you above. 
Cordial regards te you all,
