Dear Collins:- 
I am mailing you tomorrow, or there 
abouts, a package containing series 27—^2 of the 
Bauer Exsiccati, which came in this week. This 
squares things up save for series 55, which we shall 
all of us get before long, I suppose. When this 
arrives I'll make final adjustments end payments on 
costs. Bauer's demand that not more than Kr 450 
be sent in any one draft has made the cost mount a 
bit more than I would like, but there seems no way 
to avoid it. I don't know what his reason is, it 
may be some internal revenue affair in Chechoslo¬ 
vakia, but I could just as well have sent the whole 
som at once, and saved some $5.00, had he been wil¬ 
ling, Still, I do think that the specimens are 
the best I have seen in exsiccati for a long long 
while. They quite put to shame Grout and Holzinger, 
at least. Your bill for the package sent totals 
*26.25 at my figuring, 
I wish you would make sure that 
there are fasc P 7-52 (no need of going through the 
individual specimens, of course) 
School, as far as 
all save tutoring classes o, closed yesterday and I 
am looking for a little more spare time for the next 
ten days. Then I start reading examinations 6 hours 
daily, and shall be all through by the 27th, I hope. 
Further plans are uncertain. 
I sand you by mail a copy 
of a French thing that came in recently that seems 
to be a little more in your line than mine. It was 
a sample copy, and you may have it already. Your 
wastebasket is capacious if you don't care for it. 
There is a whole lot of stuff on hand to do, as I have 
naturally had to let things slide a little for the 
past three or four weeks, when there was an extra 
amount of school work to be done. 
Hope you are having good news from George and 
Edit, and hope you will remember me most cordially 
to them when opportunity offers. 
As ever,
