COLUMBUS, OHIO, November 10, 1869.
DEAR SIR: I am in receipt of your note of the 8th. I agree with you as to the importance of securing a fire-proof building for the library. It seems to me so important that I would not wait until the society can build or purchase such rooms. Can't a room that would answer the purpose be rented? I, however, ought not to make suggestions. My income does not permit me to do more than pay the ten dollars assessment in aid of the society's object. I would be glad to do more if I could.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
JULIUS DEXTER, RECORDING SECRETARY, HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.
