Dear Chamberlain: 
Just a few lino replying to your letter of the 6th. 
of April, If you are still keeping up the strenuous pace that the 
vacation seemed to have sot for you I don’t know as it will ao any 
good to write/ you, as you probably will not Have time to read it, 
particularly if it is/loag letter.. It scorns to me, however, that 
one of two things- must have happened by this time either you Have 
slackened your peoe and will have time to rood this lottor, or else 
you are in one of the wards in Bellevue, without any hopes of the 
authorities ever again allowing any nail to ho delivered to you. 
Your query regarding the "anastatic process" strikes me 
in a blank spot. I never Hoard the name before that I can recall. 
If I know anything about the process it is not by that name, so I 
an afraid that I can help you none in this instance, ranch to my regrit. 
Concerning the chestnut trees in Bristol I quote from a 
letter written by my cousin ... H. Hollins (who is not a botanist) 
of Portland, lie. ”2ho ones at Baraariseotta are really in the town of 
Bristol, on a farm owned by Mr. liana”. I don’ t know as I want you 
(this strictly confidentially) to toll me too much about the trees, 
as there would then bo less reason for my visiting the locality 
as X hope to bo able to sometime this summer—hir:,g I’ll remember 
Bound Pond, 
Shiaak you for the offering from Korney * as yon know I am 
always glad to get them. hr. fellow's map looks pretty good to ao 
general distribution of mosses as well as other plants. 
With regards from all the folks. 
Cordially 
JPO
