Miss Latham has been absent on sick leave during the greater portion of the month, for which absence I append physician's certificate; the rest of her time has been devoted to the copy of the Ethnological catalogue, upon which she has been engaged for some time. 
I have been absent five days under orders from my oculist, for this absence I propose furnishing a certificate when Dr. J. O. Rickey returns to the city. The rest of my time has been devoted to general superintendence, study, and the preparation of labels.
A number of printed labels have been received from the Govt. Printing Office and will be attached to the proper specimens on the return of the Preparators from their leaves of absence.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant
