My dear Dr. Kennedy: 



I am ranch obliged for your note of the 17th as well as 

 for the specimen "brought over by Mr. Faxon. 



We were sorry to miss you at the meeting of the Botanical 

 Club which I believe the members enjoyed. I should like to have 

 such a meeting every year if all goes well. 



As for the Crataegus on top of Mt. Willoughby, it would 

 seem to be up to you to make another trip and get the flowers. Life 

 is uncertain and it would be a pity to let -it go over another year 

 if there is any way of preventing it. 



Faithfully yours, 



Dr. George 0. Kennedy, 

 Readville, Mass
