The groups letter regards the construction of a lecture hall at their branch library.

Full Text	en**' 14th. December 1897, Dear Mr. Frew, I have received the enclosed. I don't know any branch libraries which have halls attached. It is possible that a far removed district would be greatly benefited by a small hall, although public meetings in it might disturb its peacefulness. It is probable that if the Trustees built a hall in any one locality, they would be beseeched to treat others equally well. Would you mind making a reply to this and explain that I have sent it to you as it is a matter wholly in the hands of the Trustees. Very truly yours, W.N.Frew,Esq., Carnegie Building, Pittsburgh, Pa.
