in the tremendous amount of labor which he has expended in 

 the service of the Club, he has apparently so seriously impaired 

 his natural health and strength of body as to cause him to be 

 physically incapacitated for the past few months, be it therefore 

 Resolved, That the Torrey Botanical Club formally record 

 its cognizance of the facts enumerated above and place officially 

 on record its grateful appreciation to Raymond H. Torrey for 

 the labors of love which he has so freely expended on the Club 

 and the devotion with which he has served its best interests, 

 and be it further 



Resolved, That the members of the Torrey Botanical Club, 

 through the Executive Committee of its Council, express to 

 Mr. Torrey their sincere wishes for a complete and speedy 

 recovery to his accustomed health and vigor.
