To the President of The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia: 



The University of Stockholm Stockholm's Hogskola wishes to send to The 



Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia on its Centenary Anniversary, the 



most hearty congratulations on the admirable evolution of Natural Science in 



North America, which has taken place during the past seculum, and in which 



your Academy has taken such an active part. 



Having unfortunately no opportunity of accepting your kind invitation to 



send a representative, we must confine ourselves to send you in this way our very 



best wishes.

To The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia: 



The Swedish Anthropological and Geographical Society begs to acknowledge 

 the receipt of your invitation to the Centenary Celebration of the founding of 

 your Academy. 



We very heartily rejoice at the occasion for congratulating your Academy, the 

 oldest institution of its kind in America for the pursuit of natural history re- 

 searches. We send this message to you with all the more eagerness and ardour 

 from the circumstance that your society originated and has flourished in a district 

 of America where fellow-countrymen of ours of an earlier day were among those 

 who first sowed the seeds of civilization.
