the secretaryship? They may
elect a new man in which
event all matters can be turned
over to him. I am willing to
do the work one more
year if it is so desired.

I have been so busy with
college work that the Colorado plants
are shelved. I have ordered the
Ellis col. of Fungi 17 cents. and
if the College cannot afford to own
it I will. Only two sets (now one) left.
I shall supply Ellis with the
Peronospora Gram[?] for his [?]
[century?]. If we had enough of the
A[?] [?] C[?] it would have been
good for Ellis.

I have found a [Synchrytium?]
([?] [?] [guns?]) on
[?] [?] which I hope
to work up somewhat. That host
is not given I believe.

Dont you want to go up to the
spring for a swig?! Where's the bottle?

With kind regards to Mrs Bessey and
Mrs [Athern?] from us all I am
Yours very truly
