Mr. Walter Deane, 



Cambridge, Mass. 

 Dear Mr. Deane 



On the eve of our midwinter flight to the tropics 'we 

 leave next Saturday for a course among the Saints, Thomas .Christopher , 

 Cruz etc.- and shall not be back till the "Season opens" in April. (The 

 snowdrops are in bloom now and the Forsythias, Jap. Quinces, bush-honey- 

 suckles have bloomed practically all the Fall.) 



I am sending you a set of our Stokes Fmid reprints from the Journal 

 of the I. Y. Eotanical Garden and am suggesting to all who do any teach- 

 ing or lecturing to students that we shall greatly appreciate aX^lp 

 in the preservation of our native flowers. In this way, we are getting 

 some appreciable results, which I know yon will enjoy hearing about. 



With all good wishes to Mrs. Deane and yourself and Dr. Kennedy. 



Sincerely yours, 



Secretary-Treasurer.
