 Readville, 



Mass. 



Dear Dr. Kennedy: - 



I have been hesitating a 

 little a"bout writing you-, thinking it might 

 be possible at the last moment to arrange to 

 make you a short visit tomorrow, but I shall 

 have to abandon the idea. 



I found that I could leave here at 9 a.m. 

 (via Wrentham and Nowwood) and reach Hyde Park 

 at 10.31. If this station would be convenient 

 I might work this arrangement sometime in the 

 future. At your convenience please let me know 

 if Hyde Park would he accessihle, and the "best 

 way of getting from there to your house. 



No special hurry as I expect to start in a 

 few days for a month's trip along the coast 

 states from north Carolina to Louisiana, look- 

 ing up shade tree trouhles. 



My address during the trip will he "C/o 

 Forest Pathology, Bureau of Plant Industry, 

 Washington, D. G. " HAPPY HEW YEAR. ' 



Cordially, J C__,
