 My dear Blanchard, 



» As you may bave heard, ever since I came back from the West 

 Indies, I bave been sufîering from gastritis and diabètes, but I ba- 

 ve been so much better lately that I had fully intended to coine to 

 Paris this week, to personally thank the Zoological Society of 

 France for the hig honour they hâve' conferred upon me in ma- 

 king me their « Président d'Honneur » this year. I regret, howe- 

 ver, to say that a sudden return of the gastritic symptomshaveen- 

 ded in an absolute prohibition by my physician of my travelling 

 anywhere just yet. So I bave had to give up the idea of coming to 

 Paris, to my great sorrow and chagrin. 



» At a time Avlien England and France are standing together for 

 the peace and good-will of the world, it would bave given me real 

 pleasure to bave contributed in any way to the entente cordiale, 

 which is such a blessing to both our countries. 



» I think I may say truly that there bas never been anything but
