Dear Dr. Kennedy: 



I am much obliged for the specimens of Mountain Ash. The two 

 look very differently certainly in the size of the fruit, the larger 

 of the two evidently ripening some tine before the other. There is 

 not very much difference in the leaves. Do the leaves when perfectly 

 fresh show any difference of color? On one ^hey^ are^ blue and on the 

 other yellow-blue? 



ney. I expect now, if Muir arrives as he said he would on the 16th, 

 that we shall start early Monday morning. 



I am very sorry not to have you for a companion on our jour 



Faithfully yours 



Dr. George G. Kennedy, 



Willoughby Lake House, 

 West Burke, Vt .
