Dr. George C. Kennedy, 

 Readville, 

 Mass. 



Dear Doctor: 



T have your favor of the 16th 

 and agree with your proposition to 

 advance fifteen, you, ten but I think 

 these advances better be made on con- 

 dition that the balance necessary is 

 subscribed by others. 



to be raised among the other members 

 of the committee but believed that Dr 

 Robinson v/ould be able to obtain the 

 balance from friends of the Herbarium 

 outside the committee. He will now 

 have a comparatively easy task and I 

 think he will prove equal to it with 

 so large an amount already available. 

 I will confirm the above in a note 

 to Dr. Robinson today. 



I did not expect the balance 



Very truly yours ,
