Miss Mary A. Bay 
Gray Herbarium 
Cambridge, Mass 
Dear Miss Day: 
1 Have just had a question put up to me which I am going to ask you 
about next time I see you, which 1 hope will be Friday of the present week. 
It is concerning the late Manuel Hart Wright of Penn Yan, H. Y. It 
seems that his Herbarium and a large port ion of his library have recently 
been purchased by a resident of Cleveland and presented to the Cleveland 
lluseum of Natural History, of which Mr. Harold L. Madison (formerly the 
Curator of the Roger Williams Park Museum) is now Curator of Education. 
I don't know of anybody who would be more likely to put me on track of the 
information Mr. Madison desires than you. I hope it will not cause you 
too much inconvenience. 
sincerely
