THE AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION

THE VIEW (ON PARK AVENUE) FROM THE FRONT OF THE NEW ARCADIA. 



MR. ARTHUR OCHTMAN, COSCOB, CONN. 



I would like to express my own 

 sympathy with you in your misfor- 

 tunes, and enclose a small contribu- 

 tion from my brother and myself. 



DR. MARY D. HUSSLY, EAST ORANGE, NEW 

 JERSEY. 



It is too bad that any one doing such 

 fine work to make people know and 

 love nature's ways should be bothered 

 by financial troubles. I hope the way 

 may be opened for you to continue the 

 good work. 



MISS HARRIET E. WILSON, STORMSTOWN, 

 CENTRE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. 



Sorry that you are passing through 

 deep waters of trouble. Hope it will 

 prove a very great blessing and the 

 AA will have a permanent home, built 

 on its own land and not on the shift- 

 ing sands of a neighbor. 



Come to think of it, the AA needs 

 more than words. I will send, in- 

 closed, my mite. This trouble is the 

 very best thing that has ever happened 

 to the AA. The Lord doeth all things 

 well and may He bless you and the AA.

 We are sorry to learn that The Agas- 

 siz Association is to be deprived of 

 what has been its home for the past 

 two years. The society is one that 

 should have the support of the public 

 if only to the end that the memory of 

 its founder may be honored. Mr. Bige- 

 low, its president, has our deepest sym- 

 pathy. A contribution has been started 

 towards the fitting out of a new Arca- 

 dia, and those interested in the Asso- 

 ciation and the work it represents can 

 find no more fitting time than the pres- 

 ent to come forward with such assis- 

 tance as they can offer. 



LUTHER BURBANK, SANTA ROSA, CALIFOR- 

 NIA. 



"You have my most hearty sympa- 

 thy in your misfortune. Am sorry 

 that you have been thus disturbed in 

 your good work. I hope you will not 

 get in the condition that I am, where 

 your expenses run each month $400 

 over your income, as month to month 

 passes. It has been a* great work to 

 reorganize my business and place it 

 on a commercial basis, and this has 

 not been accomplished by any means, 

 but will be, I hope, in due time. Am 

 doing four men's work each day, Sun- 

 days and holidays included, in order 

 to catch up."
