Dear Professor Fernald; 
At the last meeting of the Torrey Botanical 
Glub in the Museum Builaing of the New York Botanical 
Garden, the wish was expressed by several members chat 
you might speak to the Club at one of our meetings. 
One of^the members mentioned, if I remember oorrectiy, 
the article in. the New York Times of your collections 
in Labwador, ana 'thought that this might form a good 
subject. However, your topic might just as well be 
left to your own judgment. Speaking for the Club I 
know that they would Very much enjoy a talk from you. 
We have no definite fund for/,honorarium, but at 
the meeting I spoke of,the Club authorized the treasurer 
to pay your traveling expenses if you could accept our 
invitation. 
? 
How would Tuesday evening, April 14th, suit you. 
This meeting would be held in the American Museum of 
Natural History building, 77th Street and Central Park 
West. Ample facilities for showing lantern slides are 
available. I hope you will be able to favor us. 
Very sincerely.
