2 keep a look out in secondhand bookseller's lists and I am sure to succeed in time. I wonder what you are doing and where
you are. I am busy with my microscope every day among lower forms of life and get a deal of pleasure out of it. The micro-fungi
are my especial pets and I have a lot growing under a bell glass on the table I am now writing on. So far I have made several
additions to our knowledge 3 of these wonderful things. Prof. Sargent has written me once or twice but I am afraid I have
left his letter unanswered. This however must be remedied. I am looking forward to your opinion on Leslie Stephens Playground
of Europe . The only thing I collect now is Alpine books. As I shall never climb again I content myself with reading of the
regions far above the ordinary haunts of the devil and the pestilence that walketh in darkness .
