A handwritten letter addressed to Mr. Crane and dated October 30, 1917, shows how much personal and official business once depended on pen and paper. The letter was written in the second year of American involvement in the First World War, when correspondence was still the main way to arrange everything from family matters to institutional affairs. Its place in the library subjects suggests it may relate to reading-room or book business of the period, when Carnegie-funded libraries were spreading across the country. The record gives no further detail about the writer, so the handwriting and wording are worth reading closely.
