My dear Mrs. Henshaw : I have examined the manuscript and 

 plates of your forthcoming work on mountain wild flowers with much 

 pleasure. It will certainly supply a very much felt want by provid- 

 ing the many lovers of nature who visit the haunts of these plants 

 with a popular but scientifically accurate guide to most of the strik- 

 ing wild flowers which they are likely to find in the course of their 

 rambles. 



The efficiency and comfort of the Canadian Pacific Railway and 

 of their luxurious hotels attract thousands of educated tourists to the 

 mountains every year, and amongst these travellers there may always 

 be found many anxious inquirers after the names of the beautiful 

 flowers which grow everywhere in such profusion. 



Wishing your book every success, beheve me, 



Yours very truly.
