Hear Hr. Robinson 
I think you will be interested in learning, if 
you do not already know it, that I have received a n appointment as 
"Forest Pathologist" in the TJ. S. Dept, of Agriculture, and that 
I have already resigned my position at Brown. The Civil Service 
Commission reports that I obtained 96‘ r u in ny examination, which 
1 think is very good, cor sidering the fact that 'general education" 
counted for 50 ff of the examination, and that I am not a college 
graduate. 
I wish to thank you most cordially for your faithfulness as 
a member of the Botanical Visiting Committee. It must often 
c_ 
have caused you considerable inconvenience to £one down to 
Providence so regularly. You may be sure that I appreciate 
your kindness in the ratter. 
I leave this evening for hew York, but ny permanent address 
will be as above for some time to come, I think. 
’dishing you a very pleasant summer, I remain 
Very cordially yours,
