Club. Since the time is short, please send the names and addresses of these delegates to Mr. Thomas R. Shipp, Execuitve Secretary.
National Conservation Congress, St. Paul, Minnesota, at the earliest possible moment. Sincerely yours, illegible Chairman,
Board of Managers. illegible President of the Congress.
