1912, your committee and other organi'
cations which Joined with it to keel
the Lincoln memorial in the park plan:
and later to save the Lincoln memoria
to Washington. spent over $4,000. Since
| this time the committee has ISSUED
many thousand pamphlets, guides tt
| Washington along the park plans, Ian
tern slides and The Nations Capital,
| by Lord Bryce.
This has taken a great deal OF
money. The Chamber of Commerce OF
| this city has been most liberal: MT
Eynon of our committee financed the
Bryce book, and other invididuals have
been generous, but it is now thought
advisable by the executive committee
to appeal to the committee as whole
for contributions so as to carry on our
work.
1t was thought that Mr. Brown might
be authorized to send letter to each
member asking for donation of at
least TO- and, as some viii give more
we can thus raise about S-,3oo. One
piece of work which is very important

ment of Washington. This little
pamphlet has had circulation OF over
q, 900 copies but is now out OF print.
