Greger tells me that in 1913 he had 60,000 speci- mens of Rhynchopores in about 6000 lots. To it he has added since then many a lot. He now thinks of selling out to Gale and Johnsons, and to use the money to guarantee an education for his only child. He said he owed all to Chicago University for $2500, but that in a short while (written) he would let me have it for $1500. I to take my own time to pay first. Then what could he do with his library. It cost him one $500. I told him that I was inclined to give him cash of $2000 for the entire collections and library. He wants to conserve the work of the Rhynchopores, Pupraps and a few other things. To this I agreed. I wonder if in the end he will let me have the collection? She appears to be willing but as the collection is the dearest possession he has he may in the end not let me have it in my time. [The above will never come to naught because that to take on November first the truth about Greger.]
