My Dear Mr. Lumsden,

      I am greatly obliged to you for your kindness in sending me the bound volume containing the earlier transactions of the society. It makes my set complete, and I can have the later volumes bound to match.

Dear Sir

I regret that so much time had elapsed without my acknowledging the copies of photos so timely sent me for which accept my hearty thanks.

It will give me much pleasure if you will accept the accompanying books, which I hope may be useful to the society.

There are a few ??? ??? books which I should be plased to send also, if you think they would be acceptable to the society.

With kindest regards
I remain sincerely yours
