Dear Fernald:- 
Your letter of the 11th is at hand. As you are 
in no special hurry for the labels I am willing- to do what I 
can to help you oiit. There is small prospect, however, of my 
having any time foj? the work before the middle of December. 
Nevertheless, I think it would be a good plan to send me the 
copy of a number of the labels (or all if ready) as soon as 
possible, along- with sample of sine, style, type, etc., as it 
may sohappen that odd opportunities to do some of the work 
may occut when lease expected. 
I shall be glad to get a duplicate of as many of the Button- 
woods plants as you can spare. Of those you mention I have 
collected two of them about Providence-Carduus acanthoides, and 
Juncua seenndus. T^e former was very common on the Cove lands 
three or more years ago (and I presume it is now, although I 
have not been to that locality in the summer for at least three 
years). I supposed I had sent specimens of this to the'Hew 
England Botanical Club, and also reported it in print, but upon 
looking up this latter point I fail to find such report, so you 
are probably correct in assuming that it has not been reported. 
I notice that Apocyrram cannabinum var. pubescens is reported from 
Ehode Island in the new manual (p. 663). 
I shall be much interested in seeing the photographs wheta they 
are available. 
Very truly yours,
