January 4th Dear Mrs. Blake: We were shocked and saddened to hear of your husband's passing. In your hour of sorrow, I hope you will be comforted by the knowledge that Dr. Blake was held in highest esteem by botanists throughout the world. Yours is a sad loss I know, but Botany too has lost one of its key people and we all feel the loss very keenly. Please know that all of us here at the Gray extend our deepest sympathy. Sincerely yours Reed C. Rollins
