Washington, D. C.,
January 22d, igoo.
The object in this effort is to secure a copy of every book
and pamphlet in existence, by a Negro Author, the same to be
used in connection with the Exhibit of Negro Authorship at the
Paris Exposition of 1900, and later placed in the Library of
Congress. Any persons able to furnish books or pamphlets on
this list, or having knowledge of such as are not on this list,
will greatly aid this effort by interesting themselves to make
certain that all books or pamphlets are duly represented in the
collection.
The undersigned will furnish, upon application, penalty
labels which, when attached to a package, will insure its free
transmission through the mail.
