the President of the United States to represent the United States on the International Prison Commission; I have been studying prison systems in France and Germany. I shall be obliged to return to Boston by Sept. I-st, but you will have the pleasure of meeting our American Delegates, Rev. T. C. Williams and wife, who are well qualified to represent us.

Please give my greetings to Mr. Boros, Mr. Kovács, Mr. Moses and all my other friends and of coarse convey my warm regards to Mrs. Ferencz.

I want Mr. Williams to write an account of the Convention for the Christian Register and enclose a letter which I will ask you to deliver to him,

I remain, with great esteem.

Yours sincerely

S J. Barrows.
