6/5 1899 My dear Prof. Pammel, Your esteemed favor of May 24th at hand and contents duly noted. I hope you will pardon me for giving you so much trouble concerning my paper for the Acad. of Science. I fear I could not get up a paper worthy of presentation on puff balls this year as I have only a very limited number in my collection and have given these but little thought since I came. Again here they do not appear until quite late in the fall making it quite late to collect and identify. I am making a specialty of the Cercospor have a set nearly ready to send you, nearly or quite all are named by good authorities. And, will add more to the list. I should like to take the Cer. of Macon Co. if you will help me with it, I have never been anywhere or anyplace where Cer. were so abundant &

I assure you I appreciate your effort to help me, but this is not new, or unusual to me, as during the 6 years I was privileged to be under your tutorship and at times when I know it must have cost you much to do it. It does me a great deal of good as I read from time to time clippings of your success. My microscope is doing good service. Enclosed please find a little note book which accidently gotten into my collection. I judge it is one of Dr. Parrys. I wish to be remembered to Mrs. Pammel and the children. Yours most truly, Geo. W. Carver
