Pali Hiver, LIass. 
ily dear Hiss Handy:- 
Thank you ever so much for the two slide , of 
Fis oldens . bot; which i was very glad to get. The Fissidens 
Clos t ori is, indeed^ new to me. Ia. : pleased that you got it in 
Eho&e Island. 1 hope you will continue to turn up good things 
of this nature in the future. 
The proposition of taking care of mosses growing on rods is 
about as tough a propowition as the substratum on which sue!: 
I often scrape them off, though whên possible I 
chip off a de ce of the rock with the none. I suppose this is 
the vist way, bur all rocks arc not easily chipped. I inclose 
a reprint which nay be of some interest to you. 
I shall be glad to have you and your mother call at the herbarium 
(basement of Uaxey Hallj when you can find it convenient. The 
best tine to catch me somewhat free from class room work is 'per¬ 
haps at 10.20 on Tuesday, or 9.20 on Friday (except Iiov.27), or 
10.20 on Saturday. If you can drop me a line as to v/1 en to expect 
you I can probably arrange to have ore freedom than wight be possi¬ 
ble if you take me by surprise”. 
Very truly yours,
