Dear Dr. Kennedy:- 
I am sending’ under another cover a pamphlet 
which may be of some interest to you. I would like to ask if 
you think the last statement on page 0 is true. I question it. 
You will find the measurement of this pine on page 15. 
I have already proved that Mr. dowry’s ±a statement at the 
bottom of page 17 is untrue, as I have recently measured two 
pitch pines in E. I. which are larger than the one mentioned, 
at least in girth. 
I hope you are all well and enjoying life in Milton. 
I have been up to the Arboretum today looking over the chestnut 
plantations for the disease. Am glad to say that I found none, 
the tree infected in the winter having been cut down. 
Cordially,
