get it published here, but I suppose it would be better published in the same place as the catalogue. What do you think? [It?] published in the Agricultural Rep. as before how soon would I of necessity have to furnish the M. S.
Things are running very smoothly but close work is taking considerable time. My spare time lately have been spent on a flowering agone.
Respectfully Yours H. J. Webber.
P. S. What do you think of the [Brittan?] [?] "squabble? in "Joe" Is'nt it awful!

My Dear Professor:
I have from necessity followed your suggestion in record to the printing of my appendix, delaying it [till?] the Summer collecting was thorough. I expect to [?] in the academy of Science here, and they do not meet through the summer so 2 could present it. I intend now to surely have everything ready to present at thir last meeting which is I believe the first Tuesday in November 20 everything that is to go in must be forwarded to me almost immediately for I shall begin copying very soon now. I do not know where [?] is or 2 should address him again. I understand you took a trip up in the N. [?] again this Summer and as I hope you may have some more material on hand, Please, then, forward such additions and

notes as you desire to have go in.
Are you desireous of notes for the Naturalist at any time.
I have examined the majority of [?] additions and find them in main correct. Some blunders will have to be corrected.
Please let me hear from you soon.
Give my respects to Woods and University friends
Respectfully Yours H. J. Webber.

Dear Professor:
I send you with this the catalogue part of my appendix. You will oblige me by making such notes, additions or altorations as you see fit and returning as soon as possible. I present it at the reading meeting one week from next monday (Oct. 19) and I desire to present it to the council several days before the meeting, so the necessity of haste.
Please ask Rydberg to supply the authority for Nasturium palustre var, ovale. I do not find it handily and he likely knows exactly where to put his hands on the description.
I see you and Mr Woods presented a paper to the association on transpiration. I should be pleased
