RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE HOWELL FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY AND CARNEGIE LIBRARY BUILDING

Feb. 25, 1903
Having secured nearly a thousand books from the U.S. Departments by direct appeal without Congressional aid, the only refusals being the National
Museum & the US Patent Office Gazette, I then wrote Hon. S.W. smith, M.C. for further aid in securing books and received the following.

W.H.S. Wood
Howell, Mich.

Dear Mr. Wood:-
I have your two favors of the 5th and should have replied sooner but have been in Michigan for a short time. I shall be very glad to comply with your
request just so far as possible. The official Weekly Gazette at my disposal has been disposed of, but when the list is again presented to me, I will try and remember
your library. there, in fact, I will write the Commissioner of Patents and ask him if he will not increase my list one, and at once commence to send the publications there.

What have you for yourself and the library in the way of geological reports and would you like to have me send to that library copies of Eulogies so far as I can?
After Congress adjourns, I will be in Howell and perhaps at that time we could take up the matter and I might be able to supply the library with volumes on various subjects
that they are not now in possession of, if so, I shall be very glad to do so.

Regarding the things you asked for yourself, I will give the matter early attention and shall be glad to supply you with just as many of them as possible.

Truly yours,
S. ? Smith
