    3d LIability- Drain required and should be authorized at once if not already done- possible cost, $22
    4th Liability - Allowance to Miss Zada Holt for recording $10

    This then covers all to date and the architect personally assured me that he anticipated no other extras whatever in entire building.

    Need prompt authorization
    That a typewriter copy of specifications be made by Miss Holt to paste in Record-book after comparing, which will complete history in Record-book of every detail to date and
    be valuable in case of loss or accident to original.

    Needed attention.
    To corner-stone. What shall it be? To cornerstone ceremonies.

    Reserve required.
    For shelves, stacks and furniture which are not a part of the building.
    Net cash of $2471.97 less liabilities above given $171.97 (about) leaves $2300. Possible cost of shelves, stacks and furniture, electric chandeliers, grading, insurance, etc.
    Reserve say $1300 and coal for test.

    Leaving available for books $1000. One firm offers 1899 standard volumes of books for $270.

    Building to be completed January 1, 1904 by which time second tax will be available for expenses of heat, light, librarian and janitor (all in one if possible) books and binding.

    Catalogues and terms of about two hundred publishers have been received.

    I will donate about a thousand valuable U.S. reports when ready to receive them, and State Librarian promises State reports

    The opinion prevails that the Ladies Library will be turning over with 1200 or more books. Especially rare and valuable are the Records of Rebellion and Geological reports
    they have. Some of their books can be saved to good use also by re-binding.
