Letter from W.D. Hoard to Mrs. U.P. Stair, March 28, 1890
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER
MADISON WIS
March 28/90
Mrs. U.P. Stair,
Fort Atkinson, Wis.
Dear Madam:-
Your esteemed favor was received at this office last week while I was
absent or else it would have received prompt attention.
I am in hearty sympathy with your efforts to establish a Public
Library in Fort Atkinson. It is a move along the line of that progressive
town life that has ever been, and I hope will continue to be, a vital
principle with the people of our brave little City. It was this principle
that organized and has maintained our splendid schools and every good
thing we have.
A Public Library will prove another attraction to the civilized side
of our life. It will encourage the ambitious young and make all of us
more contented to live and die in Fort Atkinson. Put my name down as good
for twenty-five dollars to aid in the enterprise. I hope I may feel able
to give more some future time.
Yours Respectfully,
W. D. Hoard
