Letter from William Jasper Kerr, 16 February 1895

Logan, Utah, . First Presidency of the Church^,^ Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethren: The Encyclopedia Britannica, which you were kind enough to contribute to the Brigham Young College library, was duly received in good condition. It is a very valuable addition to the library, and I assure you that your kindness in giving it to nthe College is most heartily appreciated, not only by the Trus- tees and Faculty, but also by the patrons of the College. The books will be placed in a new oak case with an embossed card giv- ing the names of the donors. Through the liberality of the friends of the College in con- tributing books and cash, the library facilities have been in- creased this year by about $1,300, and nearly as much more has been subscribed. Some very valuable contributions have also been made during the year to the museum. Again thanking you for the interest you take in our work, I am, Most respectfully yours, W. J. Kerr
