Dear Sir, — I received yours of the 14th inst. appointing me 
to confer with the members of the veterinary profession in this 
city in making arrangements for a meeting to be held here on the 
9th of June next. My acquaintance with my professional breth¬ 
ren is exceedingly limited, having been myself a short time resi¬ 
dent in America. I will, however, be most happy to cenfer with 
them upon any subject pertaining to the advancement of veterin¬ 
ary education and science. I remain, dear sir, 
Yours obediently,

Dear Sir, —I have just received your letter, the objects of 
which I highly approve, but as I have been out of practice some 
years, and am much engaged in other business, I am compelled to 
decline serving on the committee. At the same time I would sug¬ 
gest my adopted son, Alfred Large, veterinary surgeon and mem¬ 
ber of the R. C. Y. S. of London, in my place. If this alteration 
meets the views of yourself and friends, write me by return of 
post, and he will attend to the matter without delay. 
Yours very respectfully, 
R. M. Curtis.
