G. H. McF. 23 July 1947.

The Director, The University Museum, 33rd and Spruce Streets, Philadelphia.

Dear Mrs. Godfrey,

For your information I made on June 9th a contribution to Curium Excavations to the amount of $2,000.00 (Girard Trust Company cheque number 459). My contributions to Curium Excavations during the last fiscal year ending June 30th 1947 were as follows:

Cheque no. date amount 567 16 July $1,000.00 568 17 July $2,500.00 595 16 November 1,000.00 598 30 December 2,000.00 599 7 January 1,000.00 600 30 January 2,000.00 453 25 March 2,000.00 457 10 May 2,000.00 459 9 June 2,000.00

Total 13,500.00

Of this total $2,000.00 was for the coming fiscal year 1947-48. In addition to these sums I also contributed $1,000.00 for the general purposes of the Museum, which bring my total contributions to the University Museum to $14,500.00. In a few days I hope to be able to send you a statement of Curium Excavations accounts for the year ending June 30th.

Very sincerely yours,

George H. McFadden.
