Dear Mr. Deane 
You will be interested to know that of the list of plants from Shelburne 
whieh you enclosed in your last letter no less than nine were new to Gqos County: 
Populus deltoideSjPrunus . institibia,? tola blanda,V. noBae -aniliae,V. eriooarpaty#% 
x pubesoens,Oenothera Lamar^kiana,? iburnum Lanbago, Beilis perenni s, and Qaillardia 
aristata. Are numbers 1,6, and 7 of these native? Perhaps M.L.'F.may turn up some 
new Pub i among your collections *1 so , so. you seem to have made a very good, summer's 
contribution. By. the way, not long before I left Randolph I was at Cates Cottage 
for a few moments and Mrs.Tuckerman(the Doctor being unfortunately absent)took 
us down into the meadow below the house,where 1 was greatly pleased by the rich 
vegetation along the creek there.You doubtless know the spot well or similar ones 
nearer to you,but it struck me as particularly promising.I collected a few things 
but had little time to do much.The wild grapes were in very abundant fruit,more 
so than I had ever seen them in Coos County,where they are very sparingly distri¬ 
buted. 
bince my return I have had no time for botanical work and shall poobably 
have no more till next summer.Cne book on which two of my colleagues and I have 
been busy for some time is just out, and I am reading the jroofs on one of my own 
(of 300-350 pp.),writing a paper to read at the American Philological Association 
at Toronto at G'hristmas time,and hoping to get time to do some final work on 
another book which one of my colleagues and I have nearly completed for publica¬ 
tion. This, with my teaching and the supervision of our Classical Museum, in which I 
hope very shortly to get installed a new collection of one thousand Roman coins, 
keeps me out of mischief most of the time. 
Mr.Trslaase I have only seen passing the house and I have had a note from 
him. He always inquires for you. 
I wish I might have attended the last meeting of the which is al¬ 
ways of interest. As I have often said,I wish that Rhodora, as the journal of the 
club,might contain some brief reports of the meetings.! think that it would great¬ 
ly stimulate the interest of non-resident members.Those of them who live at a 
considerable distance and have never attended a meeting might never have any idea 
of how genial and interesting the meetings are in real fact.It seems a longer 
time than usual since i eeoeived a copy of Rhodora,but I suppose that the delay 
is probably due to the beginning of the college year and consequent pressure upon 
the editors. 
T am much pleased to learn that you and your household are all over your 
maladies and hope that you will continue in good co lition through the winter.
