My Dear Mr. Miscijix, 



You may remember that about three years ago, I prepared a list of the 

 Manuscripts in the Literary Society Library. The books now received 

 from Government, form part of the same collection : and I would sug- 

 gest that both parts should be deposited together in the College Library, 

 the whole being Government property. If you think there is no objec- 

 tion to this. I will make the arrangement, with a view to framing one 

 complete list. Otherwise we shall occasionally find one volume of a 

 book in one Library, and a second in another. 



Your's very sincerely, 



28th September, 1844. (Signed) C.P.Brown.
