Dear Sir
I am desired by the Syracuse Botanical Club to announce to you. that you have been unanimously elected by said Club, an Honorary and Corresponding member.1 I fear that one having such an immense correspondence, and such great demands upon your valuable time, will not have much time to bestow upon so small a Club. Still anything you may care to communicate to us. will be esteemed as a great favour.
Asking leniency for taking up your valuable time
I am yours sincerely | Kate S. Barnes |—Secy
