Dear Professor Collins 
In reply to the questions contained in your 
letter of the Elst, 1 may say that the lecture will not much exceed one hour. 
The slides are best used with an electric lantern. Hither date (May 14 or 
15) will suit me equally well, hut perhaps, as I am to speak in Hantucket on 
the evening of the 13th, it would he well to choose the later, in order that 
I may he sure of getting through to Providence in case of delayed boats. 1 
am afraid that there is no sum available for advertising purposes, hut I 
should imagine that notices posted in the University, together with items in 
the newspapers, would assure an audience. I shall send some leaflets for 
free distribution the night of the lecture. 
Sincerely yours.
