Nota bene. As I have to make a report to the University on the flora of the John Day Valley, would it be asking too much of you to look over all the plants on which I have notes or question marks(?) and let me know whether you think any of them may be new species, or merely variations, or finally incorrect descriptions. In fact I have been often bothered by the ways they do not agree with the descriptions. Do not hesitate to publish any of them as new, for I cannot determine from the herbarium and books here, whether they are new or not.
You may also exclaim over my old-fashioned names. I am free to confess that I do not take much stock in these changes, till a Botanical Congress of Nations has decided, at least, on ordinal and generic names.
