course in Fungi well enough
but have no time left in which
to specialize upon dry rot [wet?] [?]
etc.

We have had a great time
here; but the students are
all returned with one or two
exceptions. They [even may?] [?]
Mr Cook for quiet time now
and earnest work.

Mrs Halsted and I were
very glad to see Miss [Athens?]
agaun after the vacation and
also to meet her mother.
We hope she will have a very
pleasant time here and visit
us in your old(?) house frequently.

I trust you will keep to
your expectations and visit
us this month. I intend to
get to Ann Arbor but it may
be impossible.

Mr Burgess the field
botanist took dinner with me and
[?] the room full of freshness
for an hour today.

You may wonder when I will get
through with questions – Perhaps never.

Yrs sincerely
Byron D. Halsted
