Deap Dr.' Kennedy: 



It is indeed most, kind of you fee contribute again so liberally tc 



the suppor-t of the Gray Herbarium, I wish I kcew any way of showing you how 

 greatly I appreciate it, ?our gift of $ 50 toward the general subscriptiop 

 carries it f crward finely. You will be pleased to hear that the response to 

 our- circular has already passed $ 1000 and subscriptiorjs are still coaiDg in 

 almost daily,- 



Your anonyaicus gift of $ 500 for further special purchases goes straight to 

 my heart,- It will enable us as for- the last two years to take immediate ad- 

 vantage of many exceptional offers in book catalogues. During the preparation 

 of the new edition of the Manual I have been noticing with great interest how 

 often we have been aided by reference to many of the older works which we 

 have only recently acquired and which to a large extent we owe tc your gener- 

 osity. During this same verification of hundreds of references and coffipliea- 

 ted synonymy ws have been giving special attention to the gaps and further 

 needs of the library,- so I feel confident we shall be able to make good se- 

 lections frotp, future catalogues.- 



Thanking you again most heartily, I air with kind regards,' 



Very sincerely yours.
