the book, I must wait also for instructions.

That the Governor has not given any more copies
is perhaps chargable to me, as I advised delay
until such time as sales fell off, as there is
always time enough to give them away. I have
advised that he should give copies to all pub-
lic libraries in the country; to this he has made
no reply. I am aware that he is overcharged
with mighty business matters and he dont want
to be taxed any more for the book. He may give
me authority to do this for him but as yet I
have no such authority. I shall send your re-
ports to him to day for his inspection.

If he gives me authority to give the book
away in his name I will furnish a list to you.
