Dear Dr. Bessey -----
Well have got settled and to work. I got here in time to put in a week with Mr. Hitchcock before he left, and so got hold of the ropes fairly well. We are moving the Engelmann Herbarium into another building now and shall finally move the General [ ] and Library also.
While my work here this winter has a great deal of drudgery in it yet I am going to get a great deal out of it. Since I have been here I have learned more about trees especially conifers, and cultivated tropical plants. [ ] I everknewbefore. Along with the moving and general library & herbarium work I am naming the trees in the Arboretum Pine[ ] tc and the plants in the garden | 521 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN.
