at strategic points we are going to plant out groves 

 as windbreaks. AVe are installing telephones as fire 

 protection, as they have proved their value for this 

 work. 



Some time between seeding and haying time, when 

 the farmers are not so busy, we would like to have 

 a meeting devoted chiefly to forestry, and we would 

 like very much to have you and Mr. Cox present to 

 give us a talk on forestry. If you cannot both get 

 away we would be pleased to have one of you present, 

 we realize that this is a busy time for you. We 

 can arrange a date to suit your convenience, some- 

 time in the evening, so that you could motor from 

 Park Rapids and return without losing much- time. 



Hoping to hear from you soon, to the effect that 

 you can be with us, I remain, 



Very truly yours,

 My dear Mr. DeLury: 



I have read with a good deal of interest and pleas- 

 ure your letter of May 31st to Ranger Page at Park 

 Rapids; and I want to congratulate you and the peo- 

 ple of Deerfield Township for your original idea and 

 your splendid organization. It is easy to prophesy a 

 bright future for the "Deerfield Family" and the 

 territory where your influence reaches. 



It would be a great pleasure for me to attend the
