26 Jan 1907 (Copied from fragment marked Y-2) Mr. C. Hart Merriam, 1919 Sixteenth Street, Washington, D.C. Thank you
for kind letter. Should that New York cold get warm just get on a fast train and come straight to our house for the balance
of the winter and a cure is sure.The palaeontological job I imposed on you is, I fear, giving you lots of bother in the midst
of your huge winter pile of work. I have only Studies in Fossil Botany Scott Fossil Plants Seward, vol. 1 Fossil Botany
Solms-Laubach and on the way from Europe I have Schimper, Paleontologie vegetale Brongnlart's Histoire des vegetaux: fossiles.
