1 Dec 16 1908 My dear John A Happy New Year to you. - I wonder if you will think I am reaching too high when I tell
you that I am chairman of the Forestry Committee of the Florida Federation of Womens Clubs, I know so little on the subject
but I want to know everything about the 04344 2 subject that I can in connection with Florida. I led the discussion
on the subject, which followed the Report, at the Meeting of the Federation in Nov and with a quotation from your book, The
Mountain s? of Cal. and I just wanted to tell you, (for we are countrymen you know I a Glasgow girl) that my ambition has
turned towards the trees I have always loved 04344 3 them, and now I am beginning to have heart aches about them. I
am perfectly ignorant of the work but I want to know it, and I shall make an effort to. Give me your good wishes wont you.
Sincerely Your Friend and loving ad mirer? Mrs Kirk Munroe Cocoanut Grove Dade County Florida P.O. Box 178.
