Hon. Charles de Kay,

New York.

My dear Sir:
Your postal card of the 11th inst. would have had earlier reply but for my illness. I would be very glad indeed to send you a list of the names of gentlemen in the "Lake Region" whom I believe you would consider eligible as founders of the proposed National Art Club, but the number known to me is so small I hesitate -- in fact, I imagine that practically all the names which occur to me are already known to you. Notwithstanding this, I will mention a few who I believe are of the right sort, and if they are already on your list, you have only to disregard the following portion of my letter.

Russel A. Alger, )
James McMillan, )
R. H. Ferry, )    Detroit, Mich.
Frank J. Hecker, )
