It so happened that I have been able to have the Minutes typewritten, free of charge. Miss Devin has given me the notes and I have had the typewriting done. At times, for various reasons of conveyance, I have prepared the notes. Miss Devin Always reads them over and the whole report is subject to correction and addition by the Directors also. Miss Devin was not present at the conference in your office on Dec. 10. No temporary secretary was chosen. We have prepared a report of the conference for the record, according tot the wish expressed at the meeting of Friday, Jan. 2. Very sincerely yours, Mary Workman
