[[IA?]] UNIVERSITY
[[Y?]] OF NEW YORK

PRESIDENT'S ROOM June 27, 1898

Dear Sir:
I have the honor to hand you herewith a copy of the report of the Committee of Award on the Loubat Prizes for the quinquennial period ending in June, 1898, from which you will perceive that the first prize has been awarded to you for your treatise entitled "Stone Implements of the Potomac-Chesapeake Tide Water Provinces."
As your treatise was formally submitted to the Committee for examination, I presume I may take it for granted that you are prepared to comply with the conditions attached to the acceptance of the prize, expressed in Regulation No. 7 of the Regulations governing the award herewith enclosed.  Upon receiving from you such an assurance, I shall be glad to ask the Treasurer of the University to transmit to you his check for $1000.
I trust you will permit me to express my personal congratulations upon your success in this competition.  No effort is spared by the University to make it sure that a book so crowned is worthy of the high distinction conferred upon it.
Respectfully, 
^[[Seth Low,]] President.

Dr. William Henry Holmes, Curator of the Department of Anthropology, National Museum, Washington, D. C.
