Miss Cordelia I. Haaren Dear Miss Haagen: Newberry Library Under separate cover we are sending voll a copy of Checklist of books printed in America before 1800, but on this condition only: that you keep it out of the hands of any but the members of your staff. It is a badly done job with many errors and omissions and the librarians of the Chicago area have a reed among themselves not to distribute it. This volume is to be taken as an indication only of the holdings of Chicago libraries. It is full of erros, omits several hundred titles and is not to be cited as an authoritative document. from THE NEWBERRY LIBRARY CHICAGO |
