Mr. W.H.S. Wood
Howell, Michigan.

Dear Sir:-
We are pleased to learn that you are building a Carnegie Library and hope that you will be very successful with the undertaking. It is certainly very generous
of Mr. Carnegie to distribute his money so freely and we know that the people will appreciate the efforts of some of your citizens who were instrumental in getting the money.

We are this day forwarding to you a copy of our large 'Illustrated Catalogue of Standard and Holiday Books'. We would especially call you attention to the
introduction to this catalogue.

When you have made up the list of titles you desire to purchase we hope to receive the same as an order, or to have an opportunity to quote our prices on the same.

Very truly yours,
A.C. McClurg & Co.
