My dear Shoemaker -
Your letter and cards both received,
the former not promptly as it came when Dr Leavard and I
was not coming up to the University except at intervals. Shall
however address you at San Francisco. Will go after the Eleodes
and get them together as soon as possible.
Did little collecting this summer. At Columbia, Mo. ran very
busy - and only cephalota, formicola and euphorbeana there any good.
At Boulder, Colo, the first week in July, collected a lot of hirticollis.
Since my return here, a month ago have been out once or twice
only - we have had very much rainy and cloudy weather. Am
expecting to get out now after fulgida and togata.
Cannot you get down here soon? why not drop off on your way
home, since you have two days or less, and then go on to Omaha?
I'd like mighty well to have a day with you on the salt basin.
As to the Sand hills - well I'm yours, honey, any time after
the first week in June. Am going to take all of next summer off,
mostly collecting, and hope to divide the Sandhills, Sioux Co., &
other places in the state.
You don't know how I long for another good visit - so make
it as soon as you can - while there are still "taggers" on the basin
here.
With regards from both Mrs. W. & myself,
Yours cordial,
Robt. H. Wolcott
