North Easton, -ass. 
Pear Prof. Ames; 
Among the specimens listed under your account of Isotria 
affinis in Fascicle VII of your "Orchidaciae" is one from 
Westtown, Pa., June 1, 1887, This specimen was in the her¬ 
barium of Westtown School for many years Tout it is not there 
now and no one connected with the school at present seems to 
have any knowledge of what became of it. 
Will you kindly let me know whether it is now in the Har¬ 
vard collection? If it has not gotten lost but has found its 
way into your safe keeping, it will be a source of satisfaction. 
Sincerely yours-, 
A1TL/LHC
