trait of the late Freeman M. Marble, for many years a member, and 

 for twenty-five years a trustee of the Society. I feel that to the many 

 friends he had in the Society, it will be a pleasure to see his portrait 

 on the walls, and that it is a fitting tribute to his lifelong interest in 

 the Society. 



Very sincerely yours, 



Mrs. Freeman M. Marble. 



A letter accepting the portrait, with thanks, was sent to Mrs. 

 Marble. 



Received from our President, O. B. Hadwen, three paintings,

In conclusion, I desire to thank the officers and members of 

 the Society for their hearty co-operation. 



Respectfully submitted,
