My dear Mr. Beane 
I desire to express to you my thanks for the very nice 
entertainment, on Friday evening. I certainly enjoyed meeting 
with the New England botanists. No wonder that, you are doing 
such splendid work having brought together in this one 
organization so many splendid workers in Botany. 
I was particularly pleased with the addresses, though 
informal, made by Dr. Farlow, Mr. Fernald, Mr. Collins, Prof. 
Bralnard and your own pleasing presentation the speakers. 
I have always been more or less attached to the Botany 
of New England because I spent a paid of a year in Cambridge 
with Dr. Farlow. 
Yours truly, 
M,
