My dear Mr.Deane. 
It is a long time since I have heard r ‘rom you or seen you,but upon 
rry return to the City a few nays since,I found a note from you,and since 
then have received a second.I have been on a hunt for that note on Pinus 
rigida which I cannot as yet locate,and I b -gin to doubt if I really did 
publish anything,although it is running in my mind that I did.I shall 
have another look., and if successful will n or .a d the reference.I have, 
however,found a note (garden ft Forest, Oct .17th.,1894,p.419 ) on Oe halan- 
thus occidentalis at Shelburne,on which you have a note in a recent Rho- 
dora,ann in this you may be interested. 
I had to take a short rest from overwork: this last December, so cut 
for Shelburne where I spent the Christmas time with my wife and son,and 
had one of the finest outings I ever enjoyed.Our friend Fhilbroofc was the 
sarqe of old,and both weather and scenery were all that could be ashed 
for.Of course I heard of you while there,and should have sent you all 
hind greetings for the New year had I not 'eard irom you, v non wo so 
with double pleasure. 
Cordially yours,
