other things 3 each of your libraries-
(the wooden & the smaller ones.) Also
you better send samples of all your
new books, especially for children.
Br. Ballantyne is to advertize & sell,

to get Regt's to pay at least 7c price
for. Also we think of having charity
boxes in the Regt's so that all who will
