I have "been very busy the last few days and so have left 
your letter of the 25th until 1 had a little more spare time. 
To begin with J would be very glad to have you handle the whole matter 
so far as I am concerned as in the past, as your good judgement dictates. 
As I am situated just at present regarding time I shall not think seriously 
of trying to get any free copied of Bauer’s Musoi by trying to supply him 
with 100 specimens of any moss. Perhaps later I might consider the sug¬ 
gestion. 
Of Bauer’s M.E.E, I have Series 1-19 (los. 1-950). Poes this agree 
with your memorandum? Poes the parpen refered to mean the stiff paper on 
which the specimens are mounted? If so I had just as leave have every 
thing unmounted. Use your judgement regarding the order in which the 
series are sent; naturally I should prefer to have them arrive in order 
of numbers but I can easily see that conditions might make it simpler to 
send them in some other order.,at least tenporarily. 
Everything and everybody apparently about as usual here
