Abstract
Bela B. Edwards, Trustee of Amherst College, letter to College President Edward Hitchcock in which Edwards writes that he will be unable to attend this year's annual meeting of the Trustees due to his health, but given that he has felt some interest regarding the library enterprise, the Trustees will perhaps pardon him if he makes two or three suggestions. Edwards goes on to provide three suggestions on the topic and explains his reasons for each. In doing so, he mentions Professor Jewett (George B. Jewett), the role of Agent of the College, the plan of erecting a building for the library, measures to procure library books, and a subscription fund attempting to raise twenty thousand dollars. The letter is pasted onto a another piece of paper with an unattributed note at the top of the page.
