8 tree, going back thru a long long line. I think Aunt Augusta would have enjoyed that. It’s simply no use describing these things, for you all get them in books for better. It’s seeing them that makes them live. The end of the day was marked by a dinner given by members of a most exclusive club of a thriving industrial city ( Huddersfield ). This Club has never before entertained women, so Mrs. Cowles & I were highly honored. In fact, everyone seems impressed with the dignity & distinction of the “International Phytogeographical Excursion” & our leaders have gotten many courtesies & permissions to see & do things, thru proper emphasis on “our” fame Mrs. C . & I were seated next the President of the Club. I attempted a light sally or so, but finding him a ponderous Bromide, giggled in my sleeve & relinquished him to Mrs. Cowles , who is a Bromide of the Bromides. He was mightily taken with her & I derived huge internal enjoyment from their mutual conversation. When I catch up with events, I shall describe the personnel of the “I.P.E.”
