Bear Br, Kennedy, 



Your letter of February 8th acknowledging the 

 mosses and telling me of your trip was duly received . You must 

 have had a delightful time and reading of all you saw and did 

 makes me almost envious, "but we each have our blessings to "be 

 thankful for I suppose. I have asked my father about Mnium 

 Seligeri and he says that he has no eastern duplicates that he 

 can lay his hands on at present, but we will keep it in mind 

 and if in going over our moss duplicates we happen on this 

 species specimens will be. sent you. ■ I was greatly pleased when 

 I received word that I had been mad.e a member of the Sew England 

 Botanical Club, and' that will be another inducement to go to 

 Boston when I can spare the time and when I have the means, but, 

 as I said in my last letter, I hope .that we shall see you here 

 before I am in Boston for it is not at all likely that I shall 

 be there in the near future. 



IVith kind regards to your family, 



I remain, 



Yours truly,
