President Seth Low, 
Columbia University, City of New York. 
Dear Sir: 
I hasten to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of June twenty- 
seventh announcing the result of the Loubat Competition. It affords me great 
satisfaction to learn that my work of the past few years has the seal of ap- 
proval from so high a source as the committee named; and it is especially 
gratifying to have the award come through your great Institution and from a 
patron of anthropologic science ^without a peer in the history of the country. 
I shall be glad to comply with the requirements of regulation No. 7 
and will forward five copies of the work as soon as they are ret urned from the 
bindery. 
Thanking you for your part in this matter and for your words of corn- 
men dat ion, 
I am, 
Very sincerely yours
