the Ohio Federation ct Women's Clubs, and a particular friend of mine, had
me 
booked to talk to them on this subject* It was to be a feature meeting of
the 
year with all the bigahots of Ohio in attendarce. They wanted to pay no my

expenmes and an honorarium* I declined the honorarium because I expected
to 
attend the convention cf the American Institute of Park Executives in Cleveland

that week. Because of a combination of circumstances connected with my personal

affairs and our Forest Preserve business, I have been obliged to cancel this

engagement. Mrs. Kinsey is very much perturbed. I told her I would help her

get someone much better than I. 
 
          Would you consider the trip end the address if they paid your ex-

penses and fee? 
 
 
                                               Sincerely yours,
