Providence, E. I, 
Dear Mr. Pearce 
Since reaching: hone a few moments ago I lave 
looked up the Buckeye flowers. I think there is little doubt 
about your cree being the -hirple Buckeye ( Aesculus octandr a var. 
^ DC ) Sarg.}. It is a variety of the Sweet Buckeye. 
After leaving you I crossed the street and looked a little 
closer at the thee,that we were talking about, gro?/ing in the 
middle of the lawn. Without examining it closely I should say 
it was a Yellow-wood ( Cladrastis Inte a (Mx.f.) Koch.) 
Kory truly yours,
