fare McCoy. This is done on the deposit of
the Sharon to the work in the Bend county. Even if so I
cannot see only the equivalent of the Sharon may not be in
the Marathon region of Texas.
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.]
