circular of Miss Athern[s?] School
at [?]. We think such work
in such a place will be both
pleasant and profitable.

We often talk of our very
fine visit with you all and
hope you may soon come to
see us and renew your intimacy
with the I. A. C. We go east
for the winter. – It is sad
that Dr [Winter?] is dead. I hope
some one will carry forward
the Fungus public A[ss.?] to
completion.

I find the Hungarian grass
here infested with Peronospora
[graminicola?] (Sacc.) [Schr?]. The
heads are distorted as in the
case of [Sitaria?].

We all join in kindest
of [words?] to you all.

Yours sincerely
Byron D. Halsted.
