Dear Fernald; 
I reached Providence this afternoon and en route ran out to 
Cambridge this morning and found the package of plants, which you sent, 
had arrived in good condition. I, of course, had to answer a good many 
questions from the people at the Herbarium regarding the trip. I think 
I answered them all satisfactorily. We came through from Ste. Anne des 
Montes without any noteworthy digressions. Yesterday McKenzie and I 
picked up a couple of plants on Mount Royal, Montreal, which interested 
us. One is the Serapias, which is already known from the region,and 
another plant that looked like a small flowered Hieracium, but with 
leaves more like a Brassica. Keither of us knew the plant but perhaps 
it is well known for the region. 
I intended before leaving Ste, Anne des Montes to collect some 
specimens of the fungus from the most eastern willow planted in front
