Dr. George G. Kennedy, 



F.eadville, Mass, 

 Dear Dr. Kennedy :- 



Yoti have received the Circular about the Lryologist 

 and perhaps have written to Mrs. Smith about it. Probably you know 

 that she broke her right arm last Hew Year's Day and has had a dread- 

 ful time with it ever since, so that she feels she needs a complete 

 rest and ehange and relief from Editorial work. She offered to give 

 the Eryologist^ back numbers and all to the Sullivant Hoss Society if 

 some of the members would edit it, but no one seems trilling to take 

 the responsibility. Meanwhile Mr, Dritton has promised to be one of 

 six to guarantee one of the payments of the six numbers which are 

 issued during the year. She wanted me to ask you if you would be one 

 of them, the idea being to raise the dues and keep the magazine down 

 so that its expenses would not exceed the income and at the end of the 

 year refund the six persons, who pay the bills from the subscriptions. 

 She tells me that five have been written to and she will be one of the 

 six, if necessary to fill out. I dont suppose that you want to take 

 any responsibility of editing it as it will entail a good deal of 

 correspondence, which is what takes time and strength as I know by 

 experience, for people will ask questions, and send specimens to be 

 named. If you have any suggestions to make will you please send them 

 to her or me soon? 



7 T ith kindest regards to Mrs. Kennedy, 



Cordially yours, C
