Gentlemen: 
We have decided to make at this time a distribution 
of $ 16 , 000 . among the four residuary legatees named in the will 
of J. Franklin Collins. As you know, ten percent of the residue 
is bequeathed to the Gray Herbarium and so it will receive a 
distribution of $ 1 , 600 . at this time. 
Before, making payment we shall wish to have for our 
files a statement from the Secretary to the effect that the be¬ 
quest is acceptable to the Gray Herbarium. Will you also 
furnish us with the name and address of the person authorized 
to accept funds payable to the Gray Herbarium and the name and 
address of the bank to which we may send our check for delivery 
to him. 
Very truly you rs, 
K. J. Tanner 
Assistant Trust Officer.
