Herewith follows the report mentioned above: 
AMHERST, Mass., Sept. 30, 1914. 
THE RESEARCH CLUB, 
Miss FrANcEsS C. GIFFORD, SEC’Y, 
PROVINCETOWN, Mass. 
On September 26 I visited Provincetown and in company with several 
members of your club examined the Old Cemetery. At that time I gave 
you some verbal suggestions as to methods for the improvement of this tract 
and promised to send you further this written statement of my advice. 
I found that the Old Cemetery is a field of 4 or 5 acres, quite irregular 
in outline and conspicuously rough in topography. The soil is mostly dry, 
loose, fine sea sand. This soil is bare except for an irregular growth of 
beach grass, some patches of huckleberries, wild roses, beach plums and 
similar low shrubbery, and a few picturesque old junipers near the center.
