Dear Sir: 
A fev weeks ago hr. C. C, Godfrey of Bridgeport, Ct.,who 
visited ITewfoimdland the past nr- wr, told ie that the late lev. Hr. 
Wrghorne left quite a riur.ber of rosses, unclassified, unnamed, stored 
in boxes, and probably of littlA value. Ie also intimated that he 
t' a one navvy; charge c:t thccc aould like to dispose of there, 
re tie r three to leave the:,- lying around and perhaps spoiling. I have 
in the past been very much interested in the mosses of the Gasp© 
region, and thinking k at those mosses of dr. /aghome’s may be from 
some fhi :: about the v y St. lawrcoce I am sufficiently interested 
to write you for information in regard to them, '..'hat I would like to 
know about is indicated by the following questions:~ 
I-o you have charge of these mosses? If not who does? Are they for 
sale" If so at whet price*: How many are there? In what condition? 
How put up? Where were they collected? 
If there .are very many of them the price, ever if extremely low 
for the quantity, will probably be greeter fc-ar 1 can afford, personally 
but perhaps 3 could help find a. j irel iser afar T have learned how 
many there are, the condition, etc.
