Nov. 28, 1909. 
Dear Chamberlain: - 
Your letter of the 26th is at hard. Thank 
yon very much for inertiorlop the Nicholson mosses. I had for¬ 
gotten all about them, and at first could not recall just what 
yon meant. Upon looking amongst my miscellaneous packages I 
quickly found the package, properly marked to he returned to 
yon eventually. It might have remained unearthed for a long time 
if you had not spoken of the mosses it contained, last evening 
I looked the specimens over super1icially and took a bit of each, 
as you directed in your letter of 21 Idar. '09. Thank you ever 
so much for the specimens. 
You seem in doubt a s to whore you will spend your Christmas. 
Row would you like to drop in on us for your Christmas dinner! 
We should like to have you if we are as well asat present. 
We expect to have a cousin and aunt from Hew Hampshire, otherwise 
only our own folks. V'e could dissipate for a week or less, in 
Boston at the A.A.A.C, meeting, coming home to Providence nights, 
if we cannot find suitable accommodations in Boston, -M we prefer 
to stay there. We might (infact probably w ould ) have to give 
you a cot bod to sleep on, but a good comfortable one as I can 
vouch. 
Wendell St. is a short distance this side of Olneyville. 
I am returning the mosses at this time, under another cover. 
Cordially, 
let me know what you think of the Christmas proposition, provided 
we are all able to have company at that time.
