Shepard acknowledges receipt of Onahan's note. He regrets the condition of their halls. The Board of Managers resolved last Saturday evening to invite James A. McMaster to lecture provided a suitable hall could be obtained. Shepard is most anxious to have McMaster appear before the Association and asks Onahan to lend his assistance if he has any suggestions. If there is a possibility of McMaster remaining until after the middle of December, Shepard should be only too glad because perhaps then the Metropolitan Hall might be obtainable. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 1pp. 8vo.
