Dear 
’.Deane: — 
It is a long time since I have heard from you and I hope that all is 
going well at 29, Brewster* Street, a ad that you are having the beautiful spring 
weather in which we are rejoicing here.Soon it will be time to turn Randolph- 
ward.I am thinking very seriously of going this time vis a new route.A colleague 
who has a summer place on ‘^reen Bay, Wisconsin, aha invited me to maka him a little 
visit right after Commencement. From there I am planning |o go to the Soo, and thsr<- 
take the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay R.R.up along the eastern side of Cake Su¬ 
perior, perhaps stopping off for a day or two to collect at the place at which 
that railway approaches nearest to the Lake,and in the interesting canyon of the 
Agawa River.This region has only recently been opened up by railway and I fancy 
nas not been much botanized in.I shall not have a great deal of time and unfor¬ 
tunately haven't any good collecting equipment here to take with me—it being 
all in Randolph—hut perhaps I can turn uo something that the Csay Herbarium may 
be interested to get. I fancy that hitherto most of the collecting on Lake Superio 
has been done on the other shores,which have hitherto been more accessible.! plan 
00 go to the end of the Algoma Sentral at Eearst,Ont.only a couple of hundred 
miles or so from .James Bay, and there strike ^he Canadian transcontinental^.T.P.) 
passing through Cochrane.Then I hope to stop off for a day it "ake Abitibi to 
have.a look at the flora there and then continue to Quebec and so to Randolph, 
getting there in the latter part of June.My main doubt is to see how I shall be 
able to carry and preserve on a rapid trip all the things I want to collect,but 
perhaps by excluding enough I can manage it. 
Onder separate cover I am sending you a oopy of the first fascicle of my 
edition .of Cicero's De Divinations,a book upon which I have been busied for a

ax. its nature, and that perhaps when'you were through with it you would be willing

be interested to glance it over.H er address is Mi ss Adsle R.Johnson,168,Hancock' 
oorsB",CrooKiyn, ti.i.I hope that this will not incommode you too much.If you care 
go jed. any part you may find the notes on pages 91-94 as botanical as any,while 
po. o,=3,am 85 will give you some ornithological lore of a popular nature.A se¬ 
cond fascicle of xhe same size as this is in the press and should appear within' 
a few days or so.
