Although the contents of the letter will
not be disclosed until after definite action
has been taken by the trustees, 1t is stated
on good authority that Mr.. Brown has
imposed but two conditions on the ac-
ceptance OF his splendid gift. These ore
that all the buildings on the library lot

shall secure the balance OF 500, 600 now
necessary to equip the building from
other sources.
