C. ay dear Mr Kephart: I must apologize for this delay in acknowledging your letter of some weeks ago. l«iy work keeps ma out of the city much of the time, which will account for my failure to reply earlier. Mr Woodman and I are both gratified, to know that we may call our camp "Cagrp Kephart". You may be interested to know that we make use of your combined volume in the training of our leaders. Just yesterday I mailed copies, for Winter study, to two rather keen young men who will act in that capacity for us after a few seasons of personal training. If, in the course of your preparation of your new book for publication, you find it necessary to oe in Hew York during the Winter, I should be glad of opportunity to meet you personally, and perhaps, even of showing you my motion pictures of the Temagami region. Very sincerely yours, Chester A Kerr.
