Mddlebury, Vt., May 5,1919. 



My dear Mr . Deane : - 



I very 



much regret if I failed to acknowledge the receipt of 



your generous gift of tne variorum edition of Richard III. I thought I 

 had done so; out probably I did nt , or the letter never got mailed. I cer- 

 tainly am very grateful for the gift and for all Jrour Kindness. 



As to typical v. renifol ia , I enclose a list of the specimens in my her- 

 barium that may suggest to you the habitat and range. Ycu will notice that 

 var. Brainerdii passes into the type by insensible graaations m the north- 

 eastern U. S., and I suspect that in many herbaria the discrimination is not 

 made. The Britton &Brown people you know ignore varieties for the most part. 



Perhaps I can hunt up for you a duplicate of no. 1 or of no. I on my list. 



I can sympathize with your confinement with a cold, for I am in that fix 

 myself. You have my best wishes for your summer in Shelourne, and I shall 

 hope to hear again from you while there. 



Cordially yours,
