My dear Mr. Goode:

I herewith send you the report for my Department for the six months ending June 30th, as per your instructions of October 1st. While you informed me that it was not necessary to refer in detail to accessions I have nevertheless enclosed a list of such which can of course be duplicated for the special Museum report. Also, in accordance with your suggestion, I have dealt with the exhibit collection at New Orleans.

Regretting that I have been unable to do this until now instead of by the 20th of the month,

Believe me,
Yours very truly,

C.V. Riley,
Hon. Curator of Insects.


Professor G. Brown Goode,
Assistant Director of the National Museum.
