Dear Sirt- 



At the Ip.st meeting of the New England Botanical 

 Club the Comnit tee on the Herbarium reported that the suia of OSOO. was 

 requisite to furnish the room at its disposal in the University Museum, 

 and to provide the necessary s^ipplies for immediate use. The report 

 of the Committee was accepted unanimously by the Club and the Treasurer 

 was authorized to take the necessary steps to raise the amount required. 



I am happy to state that a sizbstantial amount has already 

 been pledged, so that the establishment of the Herbarium is assured 

 provided those members of the Club who have not yet subscribed give the 

 undertalcing a reasonable support. ^^'111 you kindly send to the Treas- 

 urer such sxm as you are willing and able to devote to this object? It 

 is hopRd that everyone will make some contribution however small. 



Awaiting ^our reply, I am 



Respectfully yours,
