Dear sir

I am very sorry to have you make wait so long and still have a unsatisfactory answer for the last two years I have done nothing in the way of collecting. I would, I think, found a few of your danderites in my collection, but the work to look for them, is even more than I can do right now.
there is one collector, in Texas now that I think may supply your want, is prof. C. J. Neilly (of Beaumont, I think) the Dpt of Agriculture, would have his address.
Most respectfully yours,
J. [Preverikan]
