My dear Kiddle 
a. am sending at this time two small packages 
o: Chestnut "ark Iioease, showing different stages of the disease 
I would like these returned later, though 1 am in no hurry for 
then. You can bring them in to the Club meeting some time 
aftoi you nave seen and studied them as much as you wish, 
/ 
I am sending them so that you can become acquainted with the 
disease ami know It if you encounter it about Wellesley. 
There have boon various reports of the disease in Massachusetts, 
but I have thus far failed to locate it. If you see anything 
suspicious I hope you will communicate with me immediately. 
The specimens in the larror package will, I think, explain 
themselves. The specimen in the smaller package shows the 
virulent summer spores sealed up in a little formalin so as to 
I'-cep them moist. These snore threads are a little ’’water- logged” 
bat otherwise give a good idea of the summer spore -forming 
pustules, these threads rub off easily when dry. I hope the 
glass will not get broken in transit. If it does perhaps it 
will not be broken too badly for you to re-seal with Brunswick 
Black or some similar cement. 
Cordially, 
Collaborator, B. . l.
