BRYANT 2013 WALNUT STREET, PHILADELPHIA TREASURER MR. WILLIAM S. VAUX, JR. 807 BAILEY BUILDING, PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia,
November 23, 1907. Prof. John Muir, Martinez, California. My dear Prof. Muir: During a recent visit to Washington,
Professor Fay personally invited Mr. Bryce to attend the annual dinner of the Club, to be held in Philadelphia on December
30th. The Ambassador was unable to accept so long in advance, but expressed his interest in the Club and a desire to attend
if circumstances permitted. I trust we can count on your presence on that occasion. I enclose for your consideration, the
nomination of Prof. E. B. Delabarre of Brown University. Prof. E. B. Delabarre was somewhat reluctant to have his name proposed
as he has only one high peak to his credit; but after some correspondence with Prof. Fay and the undersigned, he has consented
to become a candidate. In the opinion of Prof. Fay and the writer, his keen interest in mountaineering and record as a scientific
traveller should count in his favor. Yours very truly, illegible Secretary. 03979
