July 19, 1904, Tuesday Came from Bic via the 10.42 P. M. train last night and arrived at Matapedia at 2. 45 A. M. Fernald and I walked down the shore of the Restigouche about 3.00 A. M. collecting. Fernald lost one of his trunks. At 8. 20 came by train on the "Baie de Chaleau division of the Atlantic and Lake Superior Railway" to Nouvelle and to the house of Mr. Allard who is station agent for St. Jean l'Evangelist and Customs Officer. In the P. M. Mr. Nadeau drove us up the Nouvelle River as far as we could go and back. Weather extremely hot. In the evening walked up on top of the hill back of the house and looked into a bog for a few minutes before dark. July 20, 1904, Wednesday Cloudy and warm in the A. M. Cooler and clear in the late P. M. and evening. Slept very well last night and had breakfast about 7. 30 A. M. After breakfast Fernald and I walked up to the bog on the terrace which we saw last night back of the house and botanized there and in vacinity most of the A. M. We also botanized some on the ridge north of there and in the bog still further northwest. Found the region generally of southern character. Upon our return to the house we found Fernald's lost trunk and immediately went to work on the plants in presses therein. About 2. 30 P. M. we rode with Joe Nadeau to the Barachois at the mouth of Nouvelle River and botanized on the salt marshes there. On the way back we took a bath in the Nouvelle - a decidedly cold one, feeling much like ice water.
