My dear Professor Collins: 
I am arranging a spring lecture tour to fur¬ 
ther the objects of this Society, with the aid of a grant from the New York 
Botanical Garden and the loan of the hand-colored slides belonging to that 
institution. I should like to include your city in my itinerary, and am 
writing to ask if such a lecture could be arranged for. The only require¬ 
ments, aside from the hall, would be the services of lantern and operator, 
which the local management would be expected to provide, as the lecture is 
free to the public. 
The date I could give you would be the evening of May 14 or 15, just 
which I ara uncertain at this writing. I shall be glad to hear from you at 
your conveniBBce in regard to the matter. 
Very sincerely yours. 
Secretary-Treasurer.
