Dear Mr, teame: 



It is a long tine sinoe I have written to you, but 

 now that the crusade to save the Holly ie begun I am particularly 

 anxious to learn if it still exists at the old station in ^ssex 

 County, Massachusetts, and if you know of any cultivated Holly anywhere 

 in Uew England. A census of the Holly is needed. 



The fact that we do not realize that most of what is 

 sold is stolen has not been made clear and would seem to be necessary 

 to help along in the crusade. Any information that you can £ive will 

 be welcome to me. 



Am sending some of our recent leaflets. 

 Cordially yours, 



lllss&beth C. Hritton 



Honorary Curator
