Hon. W.H.S. Wood,
Howell, Mich.
My dear sir:-
Your esteemed letter in behalf of our Library enterprise is received with thanks.
It will appear in one of our local papers next week, and I am sure it will materially assist the vote in favor of a Free Public Library in our township.
We hope to get from Col. Myers a cut of your building to have in the paper next week.
Your bill to enlarge the boundary, to include adjoining townships, is a good one.
Very truly yours,
John F. Seeley
Ch. Library Com.
