Dear Dr. Kennedy :- 



I a] 



a sending under another cover a pamphlet 



which may be of some interest to you. I would like to ask if 

 you. think the last statement on page 8 is true. I question it. 

 You will find the measurement of this pine on page 15. 



I have already proved that Mr. Mowry's ±s. statement at the 

 bottom of page 17 is untrue , as I have recently measured two 

 pitch pines in R. I. which are larger than the one mentioned, 

 at least in girth. 



I hope you are all well and enjoying life in Milton. 

 I have been up to the Arboretum today looking over the chestnut 

 plantations for the disease. Am glad to say that I found none, 

 the tree infected in the winter having been cut down. . 



Cordially,
