Extract of letter from Prof. Charles S Sargent 
Dear Mrs. Brewster: 
I am enclosing a copy of a syllabus of a lecture which I have written 
to accompany a set of lantern slides which I have had made as a gift 
from the Arboretvmi to the Garden Club of America, No. i. It 
has taken a terribly long time to get these sHdes made but they are 
going to Mrs, Sloane I think this week. Possibly some notice of the 
subjects of the pictures in your Bulletin might stimulate interest 
to hear the lecture. As I think I have already written you, I 
hope that the affiUated Garden Clubs will have it delivered not only 
before their members but also for the benefit of the pubHc in the 
communities in which they hve.

ognizes that nothing is better calculated to foster a cordial under- 
standing between the citizens of this Coimtry and those of the United 
States than that they should meet on the common ground of interest 
in horticulture and love of gardens. It therefore welcomes the sug- 
gestion that it should allow duly accredited Members of the Garden 
Club of America, No. i, when on a visit to this country, to attend 
the Meetings of the Society and to have free admission to the 
Society's Garden at Wisley. 
2. That the Council of the Royal Horticultural Society authorizes 
the Secretary to do his best to introduce the Members of the Garden 
Club to the owners of those gardens in this Country which they may 
have a special interest in visiting. 
3. That the Council will gladly allow the Garden Club to re- 
produce in their pubUcation, so far as the copyright laws of the two 
countries allow, occasional papers from the Journal of the Royal 
Horticultural Society, making due acknowledgement to the source 
from which they are taken. 
4. That the Council realizes that much good may result from 1. 
fostering personal relations between the two Societies and would jf
