Gentlemen:-l am pleased to report
that Doctor l.. b. Sperry of Oberlin,
Ohio. who has now been some time In
the Islands, is busily at work securing
extended data for his forthcoming IL
ustrated lecture on Hawaii. The
Doctor Is n close observer, a ready
writer as well as an interesting speak
er and will, / feel assured, prove OF
great help In the future in presenting
an attractive picture Of what Hawaii
has to offer the tourist and home
seekers, to many thousands of people
on the Mainland who today have but
little information concerning our
beautiful Islands.
During the past few months we have
added Rev. Father stark, Charles A.
Payne and now DR.. l.. b. Sperry to the
list of well known lecturers who pro-
pose featuring Hawaii In their public
addresses. The result of their lee
lures will not, Of course, be felt before
the season Of 190S-l9O9, but in our
work, we have to look well ahead In
order to secure results.
