My dear Deane, 
Why aren't you ancL I related? Tho perhaps 
that would banish me ever from your thoughts.* i 
My grandmother's middle name was Dean (See p. 11 
of pamphlet I send) and where that name came froi 
is noted in a foot note on page 5. Dont say 
now that I am trying to be made an heir of your 
~6 
beautiful herbarium which is the joy and deligl 
of all who ever saw it for the connection if it t 
exists is too remote and must be for my Deane 
blood is five generatio ns bach of me. 
I thought this might not be uninteresting tc 
the one I love best of all who live beyond 
the river Charles. 
Sincerely,
