The American Historical Association will hold its Seventh Annual Meeting, December 29-31, 1890, in the City of Washington D. C., at the National Museum and the Columbian University.
The headquarters of the Association will be at THE ARLINGTON, Vermont Avenue, between H and I Streets, where first-class accommodations are promised to members of the Association at reduced rates.  Members are expected to make their own arrangements at this hotel or elsewhere.
Round trip tickets from New York to Washington via the Pennsylvania or the B. & O. Railroad.
The advantages of Washington as a meeting-place for a National Historical Society are obvious.  The attractions of the Capital in winter, the opportunity of easy access to public record offices and the Congressional Library, the general interest of the government buildings, the National Museum, etc., all combine to make a visit to Washington at once a pleasure and an advantage to students of American History.  The holiday season was chosen by the committee on time and place because it is generally convenient for members, and it is easier at that time to obtain good hotel accommodations, Congress not being in session.
You are respectfully invited to attend the Seventh Annual Meeting of the American Historical Association.

HERBERT B. ADAMS, Sec.
December 29, 1890.
