Howell, Mich., Feb 23, 1916.
Members of the Library Board, Howell Carnegie Library, Howell, Mich. Gentlemen!— I hereby tender my resignation as librarian of the Howell Carnegie Library. It is with a certain amount of regret that I take this step, as I have enjoyed my six years of service for this library but I wish to study music in another city & therefore must needs give up my work here.
Wishing for success and prosperity for our Library, I remain, Yours truly, Mrs. Myrtle H. Wilkinson.
