Dear J r • Kennedy, 



Your leter is received. I am glad indeed to learn that 

 you are better and hoping to get to work again on the mosses. I hope 

 you will be well enough to get to the U.Y. Meeting of the Sullivant 

 loss Chapter. I enclose one of the circulars. I will see that you get 

 a set of the Idaho mosses, as soon as i can pick them out. i here are 

 quite a number of them still left. 



Miss Small is still with me for two weeks longer. Then she will re- 

 turn home and go to work getting her preliminary list of the mosses of 

 Massachusetts in order. She has in ms . now all the lists of small lo- 

 cal collections and al ours from the Columbia sheets that she can get. 

 I do not doubt she will find many unnamed collections scattered about 

 the state by inquiry. 7,'e propose as one s ecial feature of our program 

 to have read by title 'he preliminary state florasor moss lists, and 

 to file for inspection the personal or local lists from whch they are 

 compiled. I think they should be arranged alphabetically according to 

 the nomenclature of the Manual. 



I have not written to Dr. ^raithwaite for a long time, and do not 

 know what his address is, unless it is as it used to be 3o3 Ulapham 

 "Road, London, S . W . he intended to move, but I think they would trace 

 him from that address. 



Cordially yours, 

 I I MM
