My dear Mrs. Lake:-

As I have been away from town
I was not able till Monday last to go to Father Nolan's,
and determine what that tree was. It proved to
be Quercus Macrocarpa, or Mossy-cup Oak. It is also
called Bur Oak. It is a beautiful tree, and one
that grows in time to be 16a feet high with a
trunk diameter of 8 feet.

I am sorry that on account of being away, I was
not able to avail myself of the pleasure of your
kind invitation to go out to that pond before it was
drained.

With very kind regards and good wishes, I
am

Cordially yours,
A Ruth.
