lea: T r. Iront: 
I inclose check for the art IV, forces with hard-lens 
and :Tj croate ope .Which has just cone to hand. 
v -urins the present year I have had no time to even look at 
y mr olytricha, the examination -f which I did not quite com, Icte 
last year, I non find that I shall, in all probability, hve no 
tiv.c for the work before another year, if even then, consequently 
- think it will he •vise for me to return the package. lease let 
rce 'non if I shall send it to 360 Lenox Hoad. I shall, of course, 
prepay it. I have In nearly all cases put one of my "attest” 
labels with each specimen studied. I have not opened the box 
this year, but I think I fastened these at one end with a gummed 
wafer which my be easily detached if yen wish. As I remember 
T believe I examined all but a very'few rather carefully, these 
fov: are such as I should fool rather reluctant about saying much 
at the present time, so perhaps there rill be nothing* pained even 
if I should keep them a while longer. 
, Arc you yoing to take in the Mt. ’Washington excurâion this 
summer? r understand Hr. Chamberlain is planning to do so. 
T should like to have another collecting trip on the Presidential 
Pange but I fear it will not be this year. 
Very truly yours,
