WASHINGTON 15, D.C.

Dear Mrs. Blake:

The notice of Dr. Blake's passing was especially sad to me.  Now I am the last one of the Office of Botany in Agriculture, and I've been retired since 1947-Dr. Blake, Dr. Coville, Dr. Hitchcock, Miss Clara Pitcher--all gone.

Please know that my deepest sympathy is with you & your daughter.

Sincerely,
(Mrs.) Bessie W. Gahn
