 Dear Dr. T renn'-.dy, % 



I am getting together all the photographs 

 cf ferns that i can find as f-e grow , and having lantern slides 

 ms»d# of them. .1 ^ava written to Mr, White at North Conway, who made 

 • our beautiful transp ar^ncy of Linnea on a stump, and ask. d him if 

 e has any of ferns. 1 also write to ask you if any of" your corres- 

 pondents or friends has ever taken them in a view accidentally 

 or o n purpose ? j have written to Mr, Pollock who has such beau- 

 tif 1 photographs and is a an old friend of mine and also to the 

 Soule Photographic company, and to five or six private photogra- 

 phers, and 1 have had a number made at the gardens. 1 think 1 can 

 get quite a number that have been taken by amateurs in pictures 

 ^rhaps you may know of - one to tell mo about, 1 am busy with my 

 /'•dirondack mosses, etc. and will save you a set,
