 T .Voods Hole Mass, 



Sty dear Mr. Deane;- 



Thank you very much for your letter with the references 

 to your papers on abnormalities in Trillium. I read your 

 descriptions in Rhodora with groat interest; and as nearly 

 as I can determine this form of mine is somewhat different a 

 combination of peculiar^'/ities from any that you have mentioned. 

 Perhaps the photographs which I enclose will give you an idea 

 of the oddity of its structure. If the Ohio Naturalist accepts 

 the brief note on the form which I am sending them, I shall 

 most certainly send you a separate in appreciation of your 

 courtesy. As a Hew ling lander and an occasional visitor to 

 the Hew England Potanical Club meetings, I should prefer to 

 have this reported in Rhodora; but I decided on the Ohio 

 Naturalist because of its local interest. Thanking you again 

 for your kindness, I am 



Very sincerely yours, 



July 25, 1916
