 The Librarian 
 
 Dear Sir: 
 
 The growing demands of scholars y 
 
 incapable of satisfaction by any one library, and the 
 economical management of library finances, unitedly 
 prompt a closer relation, a vital union, between the 
 larger libraries of our country. The University of 
 California cordially invites your cooperation in the 
 promotion, of such relations by accepting our plan of 
 inter=library loaning of books, to our mutual advantage. 
 Anticipating the pleasure of an early reply or 
 comment, I remain, 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 J. C. ROWELL, 
 
 Librarian. 
 
 Berkeley, California, 
 
 February 15, 1898.
