Dear Sir:
I send you my list of duplicate fungi thinking you might wish to exchange. If you have them all please hand the list to some of your students who has duplicates to exchange. They are nearly all Uredinioa as you see and were collected last summer. I had a quantity of Erisiphei that I wish to work up this winter. How can I obtain your report on those fungi. I am a student here under Prof. Burrill.
Respectfully M. B. Waite.
