Mr. G. Brown Goode  [[purple stamp saying 'MR. RATHBUM MARCH 1913']]
Assistant Director Nat. Mus.

Dear Sir:-
I herewith send you the report of the work done in my department during the month of March, 1885.
Respectfully
R Hitchcock

In the textiles collection 174 specimens were entered in the catalogue during the month, nearly all of them being from the collection of the Dept. of Agriculture. The greater number of these have been mounted for exhibition or placed in the study-series. No accessions of special value have been secured during the month, and the curators attention has been almost wholey devoted to the routine work of cataloguing and installing. [[scribble]]

The apparatus for photo-micrography has been put in order, and is now quite ready for the general work of the museum.
