Mr. G. Brown Goode      1885
Assistant Director, Nat. Mus.

Dear Sir - I herewith transmit my report for the month of November, 1885.
Respectfully,
R Hitchcock
Dec. 1885.

During the month of November 1885 only ten entries were made in the catalogue of textiles.  The specimens were from the New Orleans Exposition.  The most valuable is a set of warping & weaving apparatus from Siam.

The textiles cases, which were moved last month from the West hall to the Northeast court, have been arranged & the specimens classified as well as practicable in the limited space.  Probably not more than one-half the specimens in the collection are [[strikethrough]] in [[/strikethrough]] on exhibition.  So far as it goes the collection is in good condition for display, many new labels having been written & attached during the month.

The scientific apparatus has been removed from cases in the East hall to a more suitable position in the North hall, where the work of arranging it has begun.
