II Is Desired to Collect Their Work for
Exhibition at Nashville.
Editor Of The Yorkville Enquirer:
AS chairman for South Carolina of
the library board, which is seeking to
secure the work of southern women
writers to exhibit during the Centen-
NAL Exposition of Tennessee, ask for
space in the columns of YOUR paper to
make known to the sisters pen-workers
of my state what is desired of them.
Mrs. Ann E. Snyder of Nashville,
(well known as the author of the
Civil WarD is chairman for the south,
and has requested her assistants to
leave no stone unturned ; but do their
utmost towards securing large and
varied exhibit.
Only through the aid of the press
can we succeed in this, and we ask it
to assist by copying and recopying for
US, until not a single sister of the pen
is left in the dark as to this opportu-
nifty for displaying her work.
We are authorized to collect not
only books, booklets and pamphlets ;
but manuscripts and scrapbooks as
well. For the former (pen-written, at
least) no provision was made at the
expositions of Chicago and Atlanta,
and they will not be neglected at
Nashville, but regarded as an inter-
esting feature of the literary depart
ment.
The scrapbooks are preferred gotten
up in tablet form and especial and
attractive arrangements have been
made for their display. They may
contain such fugitive work Of what.
ever nature and along whatever line
as the writer has collected from time
to time.
In the salesroom, which will be in
charge of a competent lady, books
intended for sale will be placed, a
commission of 20 per cent. being
charged on all sold.
Work must be sent in not later than
the 1st of December of the present
year, as the catalogue is to be begun
then, and completed in time to issue
the following month, although the ex-
position does not open until May.
Mail all work to Mrs. Ann E. Snyder,
No. 315 Ashe street, Nashville, Tenn,
who will attend personally to its re-
turn (at the expense of the committed
and see that no neglect occurs.
Some books, (their writers being
dead or married, and their present ad.
dresses unknown), while not be pro-
durable unless persons-whether wri-
tiers or not-who own copies, will,
for the sake of the writer's name and
the glory of our state, offer to lend
them. They will be returned in good
condition after the close of the expo
sition.
Following are the titles of some Of
the books we have not yet obtained,
and would be pleased to get. They
are copied from "Living Female Wri-
ters of the South" published in 1872
and since then their authors may have
brought out other works, which would
be as gladly received. We have not
copied from the above volume titles OF
books by writers whose addresses we
know, and which can be obtained 9TH
erwise.
