Dr. Cornelia M. Clapp

FloridaMy dear Dr. Clapp:
Greetings to you from this snowy north! I certainly envy you, particularly when I hear that we are going to have a regular '88 blizzard on March 6th. Such a one is predicted and probably will occur, since the date is two days before the faculty play.
This points of this letter is to ask you if you would be willing to write just a few sentences of greeting to the alumnae. Miss Woolley will broadcast her speech on March 17th from the Hotel Kimball studio of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, on the WBC circuit. She is very anxious to include in her message a greeting from you so that she may quote it as coming directly from you in Florida. I am sure that this will be no great task for you, particularly when you consider the pleasure which the alumnae will have in receiving it. You realize, of course, that the celebration of March 17th is in honor of your birthday and we have every hope that the science building will be completed and ready to move in to in the fall.
I am taking for granted that you never heard anything from Mrs. Weyerhaeuser or Mrs. Straight in reply to your letters written last fall.
Affectionately yours
Gertrude Van V. Bruyn
Field Secretary.B/C
