Dear Dr. Farlow:- 
I inclose three parasitic ftmgi for your herbarium 
if the;; are not too com;on to be put there I also have another 
motive in sending them. I would be glad to know if they are named 
correctly. I assume that von -.'ill be able to name them at sight. 
If any fo them need study please Jo not think that 1 expect 
you to take any time for that . '.'he names of those that you know 
at sight are all that I shall expect the names of now. By now I 
mean ••hen you have a /; ;oou chance to loo - at them. I am strong}.; 
tempted to send a few more in a day or two. Perhaps I may do so. 
If you ret a package of this sort ;>leace do not feel that I 
want you to put one moment more time on tl c plants than go; ; ■ set 
to. I Clip;rose the inslpsed 5378 is the common fed rust of Pubus» 
Coe o ra luminatu m hut ..s I r.r no mycologist you need not be sung rised 
if I have made a wild shot, as I 1 ve not examined it with a lens. 
This same statement will " old true of ike others that I send. 
This is the first op.ortunity that I hav e had this year fo really 
overhaul some oi the things that 7. have collocted. float is the 
reason I ar; send in-- thene at thi time. 
Very truly yours,
