Dear Sir :

I 
I am handing you herewith ray Catalogue of the 
Art Works of the Gluh which I regret to say is by no 
means perfect. 
Little data regarding the works came 
to me from my predecessors on the Committee. Mr. Smilie, 
who preceeded me states in a letter dated March 6, 1919 
that according to his recollection ”a list was prepared 
some seven or eight years ago and it is possible that it 
lurks in seme pigeon hole of the Manager 1 s desk”. Mr. 
A. H. Baldwin in a letter dated March 31, 1919 states 
that ”1 made a list myself when I was on the Committee 
some twenty years ago and I assume that this list must 
be in the Club's office”. 
The Card Catalogue submitted herewith is 
* 
brought practically up to date. The cards are assembled 
by rooms as now installed, but changes in placement are 
often made without reference to the Committee and the 
task of keeping the record up to date is rendered diffi- 
cult. 
I am handing you also papers relating to in- 
surance of the works and such correspondence as has come 
into my hands. 
The fire which occurred at the Club recently 
did very considerable damage to works of art that happen- 
ed to come within its reach. Numerous engravings and 
other minor works were blackened by smoke and had to be 
UAA& Vt f 
cleaned up and disposed of. The Board ^gave me discretion 
in the matter of disposal and a large number of engravings,
