Dear Dr. Kennedy :- 



Your letter of the 19th of May came in dusr season. 

 Within a few days after it came Mr. Preston and I had planned to go 

 out to Chepachet and again see the tig pine. Mr. Preston tried to 

 get you on the long distance telephone, out you were away for the 

 day when he telephoned. He wanted to tell you about our planned 

 trip for the following day and see if you and Mr. Faxon could 

 arrange to join us. As it happened it rained and we did not go. 

 Since that time I have been unable to see any clear day for such 

 a trip until now, so I have not written you. At the present time 

 it looks as if I could go out with you on either Thursday , June 2, 

 on on Monday, June 6. Are either of these dates satisfactory to 

 you and Mr. Faxon? 



Chepachet is Up in the notthSestem part of the state, about an 

 hour's ride from Providence^ Trains leave Providence at 6.40, 

 C.40, and 11,45 a.m., for Oakland, the nearest P.P. station. 

 The tree is about 3 miles from the station. Trains return at 

 12.55 and 4.35 p.m. On and after June 8 I c&uld arrange to go 

 out with you almost any day, if I knew about it a lew days ahead 

 of the time. I do not expect to start on my summer's work until 

 the latter part of Jun> of the first of July, sojperhaps I can 

 get up to Peadville some time in June. I don't know yet whether 

 I shall remain about Providence during the whole of June. 



Am glad to hear that you ate all in good health. We are about 



as usual here , 



Cordially,
