RESPECTED  Friend  :  Thy  official  note  of  the  16th  inst.,  conveying  the 
information  of  my  election  to  membership  in  the  American  Philosophical 
Society  was  duly  received.  Be  pleased  to  inform  the  Society  that  I  am  sensible

in  their  body,  and  that  I  accept  it. 
With  much  respect, 
I  am  thy  friend,

Philadelphia,  April  17,  1847, 
Dear  Sir. — I  have  the  pleasure  to  inform  you,  that,  last  evening,  you  were 
elected  a  member  of  the  Amer.  Phil.  Society.  You  will  be  officially  notified 
of  your  election,  by  one  of  our  secretaries,  in  the  course  of  a  few  days.  You 
are  indebted  to  this  honor,  to  the  talents  and  industry  you  have  shown  in  your 
various  chemical  and  pharmaceutical  researches,  and  no  one  thinks  it  more 
justly  deserved  than 
Your  sincere  friend, 
Franklin  Bache. 
Prof.  William  Procter,  Jr. 
April  3d,  i860. 
My  Dear  Mr.  Procter  :  I  send  you  herewith,  most  cheerfully,  my  check 
for  $100,  which  I  consider  but  a  small  compensation  for  the  services  rendered 
by  you  to  the  Committee  of  the  Col.  of  Physicians  in  revising  the  Pharma- 
copoeia. 
Very  truly  yours, 
George  B.  Wood. 
The  secretary  called  attention  to  the  accumulation  of  returned 
certificates  of  membership  from  those  who  had  resigned  or  forfeited 
membership.  The  safe  was  being  encumbered  with  them  and  some 
disposition  should  be  made  of  them.  Several  members  suggested 
destroying  them.  The  President  suggested  preserving  them  on 
account  of  the  historic  value  of  the  signatures  of  the  Faculty  and 
officers  attached  to  them,  and  instanced  one  case  where  all  the  sig- 
natures were  those  of  deceased  persons.  He  further  suggested 
preserving  them  in  a  large  book  and  said  that  room  could  be  found 
for  some  of  them  in  some  of  the  cases  in  the  Library. 
No  further  business  appearing,  adjournment  was  had  at  5  P.  m.
