May 29, 1910. 
Dear Dr. Kennedy:- 
Your letter of the 19th of May came in du® season. 
Within a few days after it came Mr. Preston and I had planndd to go 
out to Chenachet and again see the big pine. Mr. freston tried to 
get you on the long distance telephone, hut you were away for the 
day when he telephoned. He Tinted to tell you about our planned 
trip for the following day and see if you and Mr. Faxon could 
arrange to join us. As It happened it rained and we did not go. 
Since that time I have been unable to see any clear day for such 
a trip until now, so I have not written you. At the present time 
it looks as if I could go out with you on either Thursday,June 2, 
or on Monday,June 6. Are either of these dates satisfactory to 
you and Mr. Faxon? 
Chepachet is up in the northeastern part of the state, about an 
hours ride from Providence. Trains leave -rovidence at 6.40, 
0.40, and 11,45 a.m., for Oakland, the nearest E.E.station. 
The tree is about 3 miles from tie station. Trains return at 
12.55 and 4.35 p.m. On and after June 8 I cauld arrange to go 
out with you almost any day, if I knew T about it a few days ahead 
of the time. I do not expect to start on my summers work until 
the latter part of Jun e of the first of July, soperhaps I can 
get up to Eeadville some time in June. I don't know yet whether 
I shall remain about Itrovidence during the whole of June.

Am glad to hear that you ate all in good health. We are about 
as usual here. 
Cordially,
