Dear Chamber 1 ain:- 
Your letter of the 24th was awaiting me upon my return 
from Washington Friday night. I was intending to make you a call hut it 
was so blamed hot Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that I thought it wise 
to take no chances on uncertainties in IT. I. 0. I expected to have to 
stop in E. Y. 0. on business but at the last moment in Washington the business 
was postponed, so I bought a through ticket on the Colonial. 
The Baurerspecimens arrived this forenoon in good condition,. 
To tell the truth I have not had time to look at the Conn. Pcgonatum 
capillare critically. 
Send on the Encalyptas. I may not have a chance to cut the leaves 
very soon, but an opportunity may occur unexpectedly, in which case it 
would be well to have them handy. 
Am sorry to hear that the head does not yield readily to treatment, 
but hope it will immediately. There seems to be little change in George's 
condition. Am afraid they both are getting rather discouraged ever the 
ultimate outcome. 
Cordially,

Perhaps you might send only the leaves, or the short piece of the stem 
with leaves attached,that you want sectioned, particularly if material 
is scarce. Inclose any special directions. I assume you mean median 
cross sections.
