Description:Mrs. Langdon Pearce of Winnetka, would appreciate a note from you, thanking her for her recent gift to the Arboretum. She gave us a collection of butterflies and moths of about a thousand different kinds; This collection is housed in a very fine cherry cabinet. She also gave two expensively-bound volumes of butterfly plates and descriptions by Mr. S. F. Denton. These are both valuable additions to our nature education equipment. I have written to her to thank her and to tell her that he is having a label made to show that it was a gift from her. Lewis C. Weber of Chicago was granted permission to photograph mushrooms and lichens in the Arboretum provided that he gives duplicates of his slides to the Arboretum; recently he has sent us 109 slides, all labeled which we will use in our education programs. Mr. Ed Baker, who was here to look at some re-decorating to be done in the Administration Building, told me you'd be here in March; I hope to see you then.
