you never made editor of the
Botanical department of the
Amer. Nat., and intended to
have congratulated you in
my last letter. I will buy
and arrange some matters
for your columns.

I am congratulating myself
upon a fortunate purchase.
It is all of [Nanden?]'s articles or contributions
from the Am. Sci. Nat., bound
together in one thick volume,
at an expense of only 15 marks.
I received it directly from
a dealer in [?] by mail.

Will send the article I
mentioned soon.

Very Truly Yours
J. C. Arthur
