Mr. Walter F. Ellis, President
Springfield City Club
1200 Main Street
Springfield, Massachusetts

My dear Mr. Ellis:

Thank you for your invitation to attend the dinner to be given by the Springfield City Club on April twenty-sixth in honor of President Neilson. I recall with pleasure that given for Dean Nicolson of Wesleyan, and shall be happy to participate in a similar occasion. The Springfield City Club understands well how to make such a dinner both an event of pleasure and profit.

I am glad to note that you say "no speech." As for the "few words of greeting" which you suggest as possible if I wish, I think we will omit them unless at the last moment you find your program short.

Very sincerely yours,
Harriett M. Allyn
Academic Dean
