My dear Dearie. 
my 
vours ©f the Sd.is at band.After yajar last letter was mailed 
to y u,I got one from Mr.Ware and answered it yesterday ,ho you will short¬ 
ly knew what I have said. 
With respect to Labrador I may say that the entire peninsula former¬ 
ly known as Labrador has bean rearranged in recent years in such amanner 
that the greater part has been assiyne'"' to the Province f Quebec,while 
a narrow strip along the Atlantic coast has been assigned to Newfoundland. 
The latest official maps show the latter only,to be designated as 
LABRADOR.Mingan is,therefore,in the Province of Quebec.It is not uncommon, 
however,for authors to designate the former as "Quebec Labrador" and the 
latter as"Newfoundland Labrador",a distinction which serves to connect 
with the older nomenclature,but one which, must gradually disappear.Plants 
from the north side of the Crulf should be designated as from th© Province 
of Quebec if they do not come from localities farther east than Bradore 
Bay,otherwise from Labrador. 
OoT'ial ly 
yours,
