Ateneo Veneto. 



Venezia, li 23 February, 1912. 

 Honoured Sir: 



The Ateneo Veneto gratefully accepts the kind invitation of The Academy 

 of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, but, being unable to send a special deputy to 

 the celebration of your centenary festivities, we beg your illustrious President 

 to represent our Academy. 



A hundred years have lately elapsed since the foundation of the Ateneo 

 Veneto that has always been faithful to its scientific, artistic, and patriotic 

 programme, and it very gladly hails the Hundredth Anniversary of its sister 

 Academy, with hearty wishes for an ever prosperous, active, and fruitful life, like 

 that to which your acts (records) of these hundred years are witness. 

 With sincere congratulations and best respects, 



The President, 

 Filippo Nani Mocenigo. 

 To the Secretary of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.
