CORRESPONDENCE. 
Interest  in  the  Procter  Monument  is  becoming  quite, general,  and 
the  desire  to  perpetuate  the  ideals  and  principles  for  which  Professor 
Procter  stood,  seems  to  be  gaining  a  hold  in  various  quarters. 
The  following  letter  from  Prof.  John  Attfield,  F.R.S.,  of  Watford, 
England,  is  of  special  interest,  showing  not  only  Professor  Attfield's 
interest  in  the  movement  of  American  Pharmacists  to  honor  one  of 
their  calling  but  also  his  high  esteem  of  Professor  Procter  and  his 
attainments : —

My  dear  Sir; — Infirmities  of  age  will  prevent  me  attending  the  approaching 
meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  but  by  letter  I  can  and 
do  beg  the  William  Procter,  Jr.,  Memorial  Fund  Committee  to  accept  a  small 
contribution  from  me  towards  the  cost  of  the  bronze  monument  commemorative 
of  my  dear  old  friend  and  of  his  work  for  scientific,  educational  and  literary 
pharmacy.    I  enclose  a  money  order  for  twenty-five  dollars. 
Yours  faithfully, 
John  Attfield.
