Description:Letter from Suzette M. Zurcher to E.L. Kammerer enclosing a check to start a fund for the purchase of rare botanical books she plans to give to the Arboretum in memory of her father. She would like this fund kept separate from other library expenditures. Mr. Button will bill the Arboretum directly for the 3 books she brought out last week. She's ordered two books, [Chisius] and Mattioli, from Goldschmidt in London. These should be charged to the S. M rare book fund. She is planning to design two book plates, one for general use and one for this memorial collection.
She asked him to tell Clarence she had to give up her projected trip east due to back issues.

Date: January 26 1962Creator: Kammerer, E. Lowell
Type: Document
Description:Letter from E. L. Kammerer to Mrs. Zurcher thanking her for the very generous check she sent to be used to establish a special fund to purchase rare botanical books in memory of her father. It has been turned over to Mr. Jones for safekeeping. Kammerer will personally see that this account is kept separate from other library expenditures. It will be wonderful to be able to purchase books beyond the library's means using this fund. He likes the idea of a special book plate for the collection. They were sorry to hear that her trip east needed to be postponed and hope her back is improving.
