Readville, Mass. 

 Dear Doctor Kennedy: 



Your letter of the 15th inst», eno losing oheok of three hundred 

 dollars for the Arnold Arboretum Endowment, was duly received, and would have 

 had an earlier acknowledgment but that my office was upset in the process of being 

 re-painted, and so everything has had to wait during that prooess. 



Mr.Hnnry Hunnewell is conducting this campaign, and the last time that 

 I saw him he reported that he was making very good progress, but that it looked 

 a little doubtful of our getting the whole of our three hundred thousand dollars 

 which we set out to get, although we shall be not very far short of it. 

 Thanking you very much for your contribution, I am, 

 Very truly yours,
