Dear Professor: Am back again at work. School was in progress when we returned. Had a very pleasant trip and was quite successful so far as specimens are concerned. Got a lot of lichens some of them very fine. We spent some times in the Hills. Then spent a week in the Basin of the badlands. Think the trip was very profitable to me not counting the specimens collected We found about 500 [ ] I think on the trip not counting many that I noted out of flowers & fruit. We drove nearly or quite 400 miles.
I suppose you are all busy now with the fair. Should like very much to be present. Our school starts out well this year attendance good My class will be light this time only a small class of Juniors in embrylogy & Physiology. Think I shall enjoy the work How does the Uni start this year? and how is the book progressing.
Dr Kellerman writes me that he leaves Kansas to accept the Chair of Botany at Columbus Ohio. Am sorry to see Profs Howard & Edgren leave [tho ]N.S.U. but I suppose they are bettering themselves.
