Gentlemen: In the matter of inviting the National Education- al Association to hold its session in Salt Lake City in 19892 and your generous tender of the Tabernacle building for that purpose, I regret to inform you that Mayor Scott has handed me the following telegram from the President of the Association, who is also the Chairman of the Executive Committee: "Flushing, Long Island. Geo. M. Scott, Mayor, Salt Lake City, Utah. Telegram received. It would be too late for the Executive Committee to consider new place of meeting in 1891. E. H. Cooke, President N. E. A." I very much regret that we are unable to secure this Association for next year, but hope that in the not far distant future, out efforts may be more successfuol. On behalf of those interested in this effort, I have the honor to thank you for your courtesy and the interest manifested by you. Yours Very Respectfully, Frank K. Gillespie Secretary.
