Hear Preston 
Until a few minutes age I forget that I owed you 
$1.10 on yesterday's account, indeed if I had remembered it I 
don't see where I could have found time to see you to pay it 
today. $ inclose cheque for the amount, trusting this will be 
more satisfactory to you than to wait until I can get the money 
next week. Am down to a few cents of bed rock so far as loose 
change is concerned. 
Unless you hear f®om me to the contrary in the meantime you 
can regard the Tuesday evening date at the Herbarium as a fixture. 
Of course if anything comes up on your end you will let Hope and 
myself know. Time about 7.15 p.m. Topic of the evening, a 
general overhauling of the Maine collections. 
Cordially, 
P.S.- The little plant that puzzled us is ajjparently a great 
find for E.I. I make it out to be Sclerolepis uni flora , although 
the pappus differs from the description. See its distribution 
on page 781 of the Manual.
