My dear Mr. Collins:- 
We are back from our trip to Jamaica where we 
made a great haul of mosses, hepatics, lichens and ferns. Doctor 
Evans and Mr. Bichols were with us as well as Professor Underwood 
and Mr. Britton, so we had a good time and found lots of treasures. 
One day last week Kiss. Lorenz spent the day 
with me and we went over her puzzles. Among them was a specimen 
from Mt. Mansfield, collected on the Fourth of July trip,which 
proves according to Dr. Best to be either Pseudoleskea substriata 
or lescuraea frigida , from Kindberg's imperfect description^ 
apparently the latter. Miss. Lorenz is sending you a duplicate 
at my request. I also enclose a specimen about which there seems 
to be some doubt, it may be- of interest to you, so keep it. 
I also had a call from Mr. Chamberlain^whom 
I had not previously met^and he told me of your having mounted the 
Wilson duplicates for Professor Farlow. 
You may be interested to know that Mr. Williams 
is in England,where he has gone to pack the Mitten herbarium which 
we have just purchased. 
With kind regards, believe me,
