during past week, will leave for the
islands within month. One teacher,
Miss Haas, will leave on the Korea

ssWhen you send literature again,
please send the different island fold
ers with itineraries The literature is
going fast-more than thirty copies of
Hawaii, It's Agriculture Possibilities

out; I simply called attention to them
during the talk.
81 have made arrangements for Ha-
wall literature at Alexandria Hotel,
Examiner office and other places, so
I need plenty of the new blue folders
and also other kinds. [ am sending
out this week about forty letters to
clubs and societies asking for a place
on their programs for the coming sea
son and several are already arranged.
l sent ten or twelve photographs to
Mr. Boothby who is now IN Denver
and of whom l spoke to you while
there in Honolulu. He is preparing
an article ON Hawaii for a magazine
and while [ did not have all the pic
lures he wished, think he can do
nicely with those l sent; however, l
told him to write you if he wanted
others. I have read some of his writ
ings and he writes well.

teri three lectures arranged and will
have a fourth ready the last of this
week but can not arrange any more

! of the course of lectures is taking, and
how people come back to hear all Of
them. Hawaii, Old and New is very
popular. I will pat more time on Life

TENDER (the Chamber closes at noon
that day., I can only have the five

make the most finished as there are
greater opportunities with that than
some of the others. But each one will
have its strong points.
''I have laid aside duplicates of
slides enough to make up set of six

others wishing them occasionally.
Within the present month [ will have
plans complete for decoration of booth

The following letter from a promi-
nent physician of New Haven. Con-
necticut, we received by the Korea
yesterday, in answer to our circular
letter to physicians:
81 was very glad to receive your
letter of June 80 with reference to
the climate of Hawaii and its desira-
bility as a health and vacation resort.
I should fancy it was just the place
that many of US have been looking for.
Will you please tell me definitely how
the prices for board and room per
week range and also what prices are
charged for passage from San Fran
cisco.'
