Dear Mr. Deane*- — 
I am glai to learn that you are to be n Shelburne so early and wish that I 
could also get up early to Coos County.We have given up our northern trip until 
another year when Commencement is not so late here and so shall go directly to 
Randolph and get there somewhere about two months from yesterday.lt is as yet un¬ 
decided as fa just what route I shall come by,but it will probably be Montreal. 
There is just a chance,however,that it might be by Boston and that I might have 
a chance to run out to Cambridge.1 1 m very glad to learn of all the new things 
that you find among your last collections and shall hope to have a chance at 
them before too long.It is too much to ask that you leave them at the Cray Herb, 
for me to see,unless thet are small in bulk so that you could carry them over eas¬ 
ily. And, as I say,the chances are not very large.But if you think well to take the 
chance just let me know where they are so that I can inquire for them.I also have 
a lot of my own hard things and some not so hard that need confirmation by compari¬ 
son to be looked up when I am there. 
As to the list of desiierated localities which you send I shall have to say 
that all that I have by me here is the checklist,whcih does not have the data ex¬ 
cept for the township.All the full notes are in the card catalogue,which,for safe¬ 
keeping,! have put in a cupboard in the Kidder Basement at the Herbarium,with my 
name on the outside on a card.If you want to get the full data you might consult 
that.You will find the cards in the Manual order.Most of the abbreviations used 
you will recognize,I fancy.There is on each carl the name of the species,and then 
itemized the $##$ township(Shelburne = Se),date,collector,and herbaria* in which 
the specimen was found(G=Gray; NB=N. E. B. G. • D=Deane; 8S=Boston Soc. N. H.; P=A. S. P.; M= 
A.H.M.;etc.).There is also noted;in the case of rarer plants,more definite state¬ 
ment as to locality,if such appeared on the label.Of tbe plants which you mention 
the only ones that I can remember the localities of off-hand are Poteltilla puaiila 
(gathered two years ago by M. L. B. when with me; on the S.sthde of the river, along the 
R. R.track at a place where it is close to the highway,not very far from that lit¬ 
tle lily ponl(is it Moose Pond?)which I £hink you toll me that you had not visited 
until rather recently); ’L'riaphyllum tenellurn(found by Faxon in the creek, as we 
have said; I think that the spec, is in Hb. Gray,but it may be in N. @. ); Aster tarli- 
florus I think was on the Worth side,above Lead Mine Bridge,at a 
damp muddy place along the cartpath that leads up to Gorham,very near the Gorham 
line; Breohtites I am a little uncertain of but think that it was on the north 
side of the road between Lead Mine Bridge and Gates Cottage,but nearer to the 
former,in a region with Soliiado oaesia or variety.Of some or most of these,how¬ 
ever, you will find specimens in the Gray and Club herbaria,and of all notes on my 
cards.If you don't understand any abbresiation there copy it out and send it to 
me. 
I wish I might attend with you the next meeting of the Club and also assist
