            Dear Mr. Leopold: 
 
                        The third annual meeting of the Central States 
            Forestry Congress will be held at the Brown Hotel, in 
            Louisville, Ky. on November 17, 18 and 19th. The program 
            committee has been working very hard to make this coming 
            meeting an exceptional one from the standpoint of subjects 
            presented and the speakers who present them, and I think a 
            successful meeting is assured. 
 
                        The program committee has drawn up a program 
            of subjects for discussion and this committee would like to 
            know if you would be good enough to handle the subject: 
            THE MAINTENANCE OF FOREST COVER AS A BASIS FOR WILD LIFE 
            CONSERVATIM , on the afternoon program of November 17th. I 
            might say that this first day's afternoon program will be 
            taken up entirely by considering the Maintenance of Forest 
            Cover as a Basis for Wild Life Conservation, Public Recreation,

            and the Place of State and National Forests in Public Recreation

            and Wild Life Conservation. 
 
                        We are asking Mr. L. G. Staley, State Forester of

            Pennsylvania and Mr. Paul G. Redington, Chief of the Biological

            Survey to handle the other two main subjects on this afternoon

            program. 
                        There are one or two other persons who will be 
            asked to discuss each one of these subjects after they are pre-

            sented by the mai# speakers. 
 
                        Trusting that you will accept this assignment, and

            will notify me as early as convenient, I am with kindesit re-

            gards, 
 
                                  Sincerely yours,
