Dear Dr. K ennedy, 



Mr. 3ritton has given me your note 

 ab/|at Buxbauraia to read and I am very much interested in it. I 

 think it is ^r^ publishing. Now I want to ask a favor of you. I 

 have been doing some work for the Observer, trying to induce some 

 of the young people to, take up the stu y of the mosses, and have 

 printed 7-8 articl es on l|ptr to study them. In connection with these 

 articles Miss Booth has issued a series of specimens to illg^trate 

 them. Gould you get, enough Buxbaumia for me, say for a loo speci- 

 mens ? It would be very interesting.

I collected it once at Dedhai 

 with Mrs. Wolcot t , of Blue Hill farm, and it was fakrly abundant 

 in some young woods back of the piggery. We gathered it on the 31st 

 of December^ so I think it will not be too late now to get it. I 

 should be ery glad to have it. 



Sjincerely yours, 



Mrs. N.L.Britton.
