Dear Ferhald:- 
Rather unexpectedly there ha£ developed,somewhat 
in the distance,something which looks like a possible opportunity 
to help you out on the Pembroke labels. nothing very certain 
yet, but if you have some of the copy ready, with indications 
of style and other ordinarily important points, you might send 
it down,,and if things develop favorably I may get a chance to 
do some or all of them, as I can sandwich them in. 
Saturday I collected a lot of the Myriophyllum s cabratum for 
the Gray exsiccati. Unfortunately I found the great bulk of 
the material which was so fine the preceding Saturday under a 
foot of water as the result of the heavy rains during the week. 
I was able to get only such as was still in fair shape along the 
edge of the pond. It is very poor as compared with what could 
have been obtained a week earlier. I have somewhat over a 
hundred full sheets in press now. Perhaps you will be able to 
pick out enough for the set. If not it can be thrown away as 
easily later as it can now. 
Very truly,
