Gentlemen: We are in receipt of the very excellent collection of books you sent us for the use of the men in our institution. Please accept our grateful thanks for the same, and be assured they will be eagerly read and highly prized by the men. Too much can not be said of the beneficial influence of good books in the prison. Men will carefully read books in here that they would not look at outside. And then too they have time to digest what they read. Again thanking you for your kind remembrance of us, I beg leave to remain, Yours truly,
——, Chaplain.
Dover, Del., Aug. 6, 1900.
I received the tracts that you sent, and distributed them among the prisoners. They seem to enjoy them more than anything they have ever had in the way of reading. I shall be more than glad to distribute all such reading as that proves to be. Yours respectfully,
——, Warden of the Kent County Prison.
