:OSMOS CLU B 
WASH I NGTON,D.C. 
August 17, 1927. 
Dr. W. H. Holmes, 
Cosmos Club, 
Washington, D. C. 
Dear Dr. Holmes; 
You have been appointed chairman of a committee 
of which the other members are Herbert Friedenwald, 
R. L» Faris, and D. L. Hazard, to consider the 
suggestion of Allen C. Clark of the Committee on 
Historic Sites that the Club take over the tablet 
prepared by that committee for the Cameron House in 
1925 and have the inscription changed to suit the 
wishes of the Club and then have the tablet put in a 
suitable place on the building. In 1925 the Board 
declined to permit the placing of the tablet because 
the inscription was not considered satisfactory. 
The tablet is in Mr. Clark f s office at 316 
Fourteenth Street and Mr. Marshall had prepared a 
form of inscription which he thought proper. I have 
the information which he included but not the exact 
form. You may possibly know something about it, or 
perhaps Mr. Charles Moore, who was a member of the 
committee that considered the matter in 1925. 
Perhaps by comparing the paper which I have with 
the tablet it would be possible to determine whether 
the inscription could be changed satisfactorily. 
Very truly yours 
Secretary
