MY DEAR SIR,
My friend Professor Blumentritt has just written me informing me that you have deigned to honor us with your valuable cooperation by becoming a member of the Executive Board of the International Association of the Philippinists, and I, as its secretary and as a Filipino, hasten to thank you in behalf of the other members and of my country, which already owes so much to European scholars.
Likewise I have the honor to write you in behalf of the rest of the members that the election of a Dutch member be left to your choice, requesting you to let me know the most convenient way through which I can communicate with the member that you may choose.
As soon as your choice accepts, the Association will then become constituted and I shall then have the honor of informing the members officially and properly.
I am your attentive servant who kisses your hand. RIZAL
