Dear Sir,

I beg you will accept
for yourself and communi-
cate to the PhrenaKosmian
society of Pennsylvania Col-
lege, my best thanks for the
honour that has been done me
in electing me one of its
members. I hardly need say
that the society has my
hearty good wishes for its
prosperity and usefulness.

I owe you an apol-
ogy for this long delay in
