Divine National Representative for Pacific Coast I am in receipt of a letter from Professor Mix relative to the nursery business and understand that you are representing the SCF Committee in his absense. I believe that he will be back at Lawrence by the l2th of September. He suggests that I drop you a line. I judge that he has communicated to you the fact that the nursery at Foxhill known as the Jayhawk nursery is to be closed. The British for some reason do not seem disposed to dis- close the reason for the closing but intimate that.there are very good reasons, evidently of a military character.

It was previously sponsored by arnstable, Massachusetts with a gift of some $10;000.° The latter owever, was not for the duration but an outright gift making it difficult for us to ask them to continue the aid inasmuch as we accepted with a very clear understanding that there would be no further commitments. Qi Former Governor Henry J. Allen, who was. our. Commissioner to Englend and who is greatly interested in the nursery project, is a summer resident at Barnstable, Hyannis to be exact. He would like to see Lawrence accept Captain Gracey's suggestion and take on the project allowing recognition for what Barnstable, Massachusetts has done. I think, however, that it should be a distinctly Jayhawk Nursery because the British are very anxious to have your ancient and honorable bird prominently displayed and keep the Kansas The child must be given the means requisite for its normal development both maferially and spiritually—Declaration of Geneva THE AMERICAN MEMBER OF THE SAVE THE CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL UNION Registered with the President's War Relief Control Board, Registration No. 2, For Relief Overseas.
