My dear Dr. Kennedy : - 



As your son has probably told you, we are 

 greatly pleased with your gift of the herbarium case. 

 We have felt the need of such an article of furniture 

 ever since the Museum was started, and as our flower 

 table grows in importance and the young people are more 

 and more interested in the study of botany an herbarium 

 has become a very great necessity. Of course it was 

 essential to have the case before we could make any col- 

 lection usable and just as soon as your gift is put in 

 place (this will be within a week or two) we shall 

 begin the gathering of a real collection of pressed plants. 



feel that your own interest in botany will be carried 

 on to many of the boys and girls of Boston and that this 

 work is being materially helped by the herbarium ease 

 which you have sent us. 



I trust that it may be a pleasure to you to 



Very sincerely yours, 



Dr. George G. Kennedy, 

 Blue Hill Avenue, 

 Readville, Mass.
