April 9, 1903 Dr. L. H. Pammel, Ames, Iowa. My Dear professor Pammel: I have your favor of April 4th, with enclosure to Mr. Crawford, who is not here now and I do not exactly know where he is; but I will take charge of the enclosure and when I find out his whereabouts I will forward it to him. I trust you are quite well and that you are having as delightful weather as we are having here. I often think of you when we are wondering through the woods and gathering specimens of various kinds. I am glad to know that you will get the hop roots for Mr. Ward as he will appreciate them most highly. With best wishes, I am, Yours most sincerely, G.W. Carver
