Dear Sir,
I have noticed from time to time in your paper the articles concerning the founding of a Public Library, and I feel deeply interested in the same.
Camden is now a prosperous, flourishing town and if all will take hold and boon the project you will have an institution of which you may well be proud.
Trusting that the promoters of the idea will have the best of success. I enclose $25 towards the fund.
Respectfully,
Geo F. MansfieldCollection
