Letter from Harry Fielding Reid to John Muir, 1903 Jan 16.

GEOLOGICAL LABORATORY,JOHNS HOPINKS UNIVERSITY,BALTIMORE, MD.January 16th., 1903.Mr. John Muir.Martinez, Cal.My dear Mr.: Muir:-I am again collecting information for my annual report on Variations of Glaciers. Professor Davidson has sent me a report from the Captain of the excursion steamer to the effect that the end of the Muir Glacier is now about a mile and a half behind its position before the earthquake. Perhaps, you have heard something more about it or about the other glaciers in that region or other parts of Alaska.I have never been able to get any definite information about the California glaciers. I have written frequently to Mr. J. N. Le Cont who visits the mountains very often but apparently in the early summer before the snow has exposed the ends of the glaciers.I was in Switzerland last summer with my family and spent a short time among the glaciers and have now practically completed all the observation I want, to show clearly the relation between the original stratification and the blue veins.Mrs. Reid is fairly well this winter and am sure she would send her kind regards to you if she knew I were writing. I am sorry California is so far off that I have not the opportunity of seeing you oftener, but I hope something will bring you to the East before long. With kind regards.I am, Yours very truly,[illegible](Dictated.)[03143

Letter from Harry Fielding Reid to John Muir, 1901 Jan 21.

[letterhead]Jan. 21, 1901Mr dear Mr. Muir,I am after you again for information about the Alaskan glaciers. Have you been fortunate enough to visit that country again last summer? Remarkable reports have reached the east with regard too the immense effect on the glaciers of the earthquake of Sept, 1899. Can you give me any authentic information on the subject? And last Oct. the papers said that a big piece of the end of the Windom glacier had broken off. This seemed strange to me, as this glacier does not reach tide-water. I was in Switzerland again last summer for a few weeks working especially on the blue veins and stratification of the glaciers; I think I have enough data now to prove that the former are merely modified strata. I wish I could see you; it has been a long time since you were east. You ought not to forget this part of the country. Mrs. Reid joins me[in margin: in kind regards, Yours cordially, Harry Fielding Reid.]0283

Letter from Harry Fielding Reid to John Muir, 1892 May 25.

[letterhead] Cleveland, O. May 25, 92My dear Prof Muir,I have just returned from Atlantic City where I took Mrs. Reid & her son to enjoy for a while the salt air; I find your letter of May 15th awaiting me. Your former letter was also duly received. Thank you very much for your good offices in seeing Gov. Perkins & securing for me the reductions you men- mention. I am busily engaged preparing for the summer; and look forward with hopes of seeing you. I expect to take two camp hands & possibly one companion with me this summer, & shall make further & longer excursions than I did two years ago. I should be delighted to have your company.With kind regardsVery sincerely yoursHarry Fielding Reid.0158

Letter from [Harry Fielding Reid] to John Muir, 1894 Apr 18.

[letterhead]April 18, 1894My dear Mr. Muir,I wish I were sending you my completed memoir on my Glacier bay work, but I have unfortunately another in good working condition this winter, and it is still unfinished. There are one or two questions I should like to ask you about that again. Ben told me that some glacier (which was it?) in Taylor or Dundas bay was advancing when you were then in 1879. I should like to01800 know more about this as it is so near the glacier of Glacier bay, & these have certainly been receding for a hundred years. Was it a large glacier, & what were the indications of advance? were they very decided?I believe also you told me that the Grand Pacific & Johns Hopkins glaciers were united when you first saw them; am I right?How did you enjoy your European trip? I wish I could have been with you. There is some chance of my going to Switzerland this summer, but my plans are not yet decided

Letter from Harry Fielding Reid to John Muir, 1896 Dec 5.

[in margin: Prof Reid][letterhead]Dec #5th 1896My dear Mr. Muir,It\u27s been a long time since I have heard from you, but I have often thought of you and wondered how you were. Mr. T. Brook Whitworth wrote me last spring that you were about to make another visit to Alaska; Wish I could have gone with you. I took my whole family over to Switzerland and, leaving them at our hotel, I spent all the time I could studying the glaciers. I shall publish the results late in the winter & will send you a copy of the paper.What changes did you find at02184 Glacier Bay? I hope you received the copy of Glacier Bay & its Glaciers which I sent you about four weeks ago; it was only published during the summer by the U.S. Geol. Survey. If you did you have probably noticed that I am trying to keep a record of the changes that American glaciers are undergoing & I hope you will send me what information you can on the subject.I was in Cleveland a week ago and saw Bert McBride, who has devoted himself to business with great assiduity; I saw Cushing too, who still has his pristine quaintness. Adams is at Harvard where I hear he has a very good position. Morse is in Cleveland but I did not see him. Casement, I am told, died abouttwo years ago; you remember what a jolly little fellow he was.My family has increased since I last saw you. My second child is a girl & is now 15 months old. Don\u27t you every come east? I am settled in Baltimore now and I can assure you a very hearty welcome at any time that you can come & stay with me.I am temporarily in Chicago, or I am sure that Mrs. Reid would want me to send you her kindest regards. She often speaks of you and of your two lovely children, whose pictures you gave Mrs. Reid on that awfully hot night in New York.Hoping that we shall see you on this side of the continent before long.I am very cordially yoursHarry Fielding Reid

Letter from Harry Fielding Reid to John Muir, 1891 Oct 27.

[1][letterhead]Cleveland, O. Oct 27, 1891My dear Prof. Muir,Yours of the 20th came yesterday. Thank you very much for your information about Granite Canon. I am delighted that your conclusion with regard to the moraines from Main Lake to Muir Inlet, is exactly the same as mine. From a photograph that Prof. Wright took in 1886 I have been able to plot into my map the position of [2] 01535the ice front in that year, which shows a recession in p[illegible] years of about 1000 yards. I am making a special map of the upper part of Muir Inlet on a scale of 1 / 20,000 (about 3 inches to the mile) to show our stations, the position of the ice front in 1890 & in 1886, and the positions of the flags we used for measuring the motion of the ice. I should like very much to add to the interest of this map by plotting in the position of the ice front at your first visit in 1879. If you do not[3][letterhead]object to this please drop me a line as soon as possible, as I shall not do it without your express permission. I hope to have my report in print sometime this fall. With regard to furnishing Capt. Carroll with bearings for determining the future rate of recession, I can do it so much more easily & satisfactorily when my map is published, that I think it would be better to wait until then, especially as no more observations can be made until next summer. [4] 01535I think Capt. Carroll’s estimate of the recession during the past year is too small. I am inclined to think 100 yards closer to the true annual recession than 100 feet. My large may in on a scale of 1 / 100 000, (about 2/3 inch to the mile) [but?] still it covers a sheet 23x27 inches. it shows Mt. Young to be 10 miles from Lynn Canal, with a possible error of 2 ½ miles. This uncertainty comes from not knowing the longitude of Camp Muir very closely. Mrs. Reid joins me in Kind regards,I am very sincerely yoursHarry Fielding Reid

A microscopic study of the trichomes on gynoecia of normal and tetraploid Clark cultivars of Glycine max and seven near isogenic lines

The surfaces of gynoecia of Glycine max cultivars—normal Clark, a tetraploid Clark, and seven isolines—display variations in at least three types of trichomes. The normal Clark soybean gynoecium has at least three and possibly four types of trichomes: a two‐ to four‐celled, elongate, thick‐walled trichome (TWT), an elongate thin‐walled unicellular trichome (UCT), a secretory multicellular trichome (MCT), and an elongate thin‐walled bicellular trichome that we have interpreted as an immature TWT. All these types are present on the gynoecium by 1 d before anthesis. After fertilization, the UCT is rare, but the other types continue to initiate and develop on the young pod. During flowering, the UCT and the MCT are distributed along the ovary from the base of the gynoecium to the top of the ovary. The TWT forms primarily along the dorsal side of the style. The Clark tetraploid and the extra-dense, dense 1, dense 2, sharp hair tip, sparse, and puberulent isolines have all four types of trichomes on their gynoecia, although TWTs and UCTs are very short in the puberulent isoline. The glabrous isoline is missing the TWT but has a short, thin‐walled trichome that occurs infrequently, mainly along the dorsal side of the style. The ratio of TWTs on the gynoecium of the normal Clark to those on the isolines is 1:4 on extra-dense, 1:3 on dense 2, 1:1.6 on dense 1, 1:2 on the tetraploid, 1:0.5 on the sparse, and 1:0.2 on the puberulent. There is a positive correlation between the expanded distribution of TWTs onto other parts of the gynoecium and increased pubescence of TWTs on the gynoecium. The numbers and morphology of MCTs are similar in the normal Clark, the tetraploid, and the seven isolines, except for extra-dense, where the numbers of MCTs are suppressed. The numbers of UCTs were significantly greater on the extra-dense, dense 2, and dense 1 isolines than on the normal Clark, but distribution was the same. During early pod development, TWTs and MCTs are most prominent, indicating that the UCTs either disappear or may be a precursor of TWTs. No functions are known for any of the types of trichomes on soybean gynoecia, but possible roles are discussed
