LEGACIES 



The Society gratefully records the receipt of the balance of $10,000, 

 final payment on a legacy of $20,000 from the estate of the late Mrs. Ernes- 

 tine M. Kettle of Weston. It also gratefully records the receipt of $651.62 

 from the estate of Miss Louisa K. Adams of Brookline. These legacies 

 are retained as separate funds under the names of the legators, so that they 

 will always continue as memorials and perpetual reminders of the interest 

 and good will of the donors. The interest of these funds will be used for 

 the general purposes of the Society. 



Sums donated by will to the Society are placed in Reserve, thereby 

 giving to the Society a use of the money which has peculiar value because 

 of its permanence. 



The altruistic work of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, carried on 

 for many years with increasing success, suggest the desirability of remem- 

 bering it in this fashion. All the funds of the Society are handled carefully 

 and conservatively, but the Reserve Fund, in the exclusive control of the 

 Board of Directors, is especially worthy of consideration of testators who 

 wish to make legacies of lasting usefulness. 



There will always be need of organized work for bird protection, a 

 form of conservation of the greatest importance to the general welfare. The 

 Reserve Fund of the Society, when of sufficient size, will insure this. Can 

 you not help in this way?
