boston, Jan. 30, 1915. 



George G. Kennedy, Esq., 



Readville, Mass. 

 My dear Sir: 



I beg to acknowledge your note of Jan. 28th, requesting 

 the withdrawal of your name as Chairman of the Committee of the 

 Board of Overseers to Visit the Gray Herbarium and also as Chair- 

 man of the Committee on Botany, and shall present these requests 

 to the Board of Overseers at its next Stated Meeting of March 1, 

 1915. I presume that your withdrawal as Chairman of these two 

 Committees does not include the withdrawal altogether from mem- 

 bership in the Committees, but only that you wish to be relieved 

 of the duties of Chairman. If this presumption is mistaken on 

 my part, will you kindly inform me and oblige. 



Very truly yours,
