Mr. Charles L. Freer, 
33 Ferry Ave. East, 
Detroit Michigan.
 
Dear Mr. Freer:

I have your kind note of May 9th and beg to express my hearty appreciation of your consent to become one of the Guarantors of our non-technical, archaeological magazine. We shall hope to issue the first number in September, and we shall look to our Guarantors as an Advisory Committee of Laymen upon whom we may call for counsel in developing the policy of the publication.

I have postponed sending you the official announcement of your election as Patron of the Institute at the last meeting of the Council because we are at work upon a suitable certificate for Patrons, a new order of membership that was established just two years ago. This honor was conferred in recognition of your great service in starting the proposed School of Archaeology in China.

Mr. Langdon Warner has lectured for the Institute this spring before the Hartford Society and has recently made an address at a meeting of the Boston Society in the Museum of Fine Arts. Everyone speaks in the highest terms of his effectiveness, and I feel sure that we may look forward with great anticipations
