A large part of the history of the navy IS out

correspondence journals. rare pamphlets and log
books which are now inaccessible to students OF
naval history 7 think the value OF a systematic
collection Of such material viii be so obvious that
the proposed plan will be supported For instance.
there IS much OF the work OF the navy in the sup
preston Of slavery on the west coast Of Africa
which Is net available in Official records for students
writers.
Even the big volumes telling of the operations
during the Civil War are not entirely complete, for
there are many incidents noted only in the private
papers OF officers and men taking part in the en-
gagements- There is a vast mass Of matter
Iating TO the navy which Z believe would sbe OF
great value if il could be gathered. published and
