Sept. 23d 1881

My Dear Sir:

Nothing Botanical
from my pen was issued
during 1880 except the decriptions
of "New Species of Fungi" you mention
in the Botanical Gazette and
a short article on
"Polyporus volvatus and its
Varieties" in the Torrey
Bulletin (Oct.) p. 102. Of the
latter I have no duplicate
copies. No Museum Report
saw the light during that
year. Three are now back
waiting publication. When
they will see the light
is more than I know.
Difficulties with public
printing are working badly
for us.

Very truly Yours

Chas. H. Peck.
