My dear Mr. Mundell:
Our Day Missions Library, formerly known as the Historical Library of
Foreign Missions of Yale University, is deeply indebted to you for your past
kindness in sending literary material relating to the work of your Society.
You have thus aided us in enriching our collection in a way that is proving
an increasing benefit not only to our own University and to the students of
the Missionary Department of the Yale School of Religion, but also to other
students of Missions who find in our Library building material not duplicated
elsewhere in the world with one possible exception, and likewise a most convenient
literaty workshop, with every provision for the production of articles
and volumes of importance to the cause.
I am writing at this time to ask if you will kindly send to us the
last annual report of your Society. We are anxious to secure full files of
such reports, since they constitute possibly the best first-hand source of
material for teh scientific, and eventually for the historical, study of Missions.
It is with the thought of preserving for future generations such data,
that this building has been made wholly fireproof. It may be added that a
fund provides for its professional care and proper maintenance in perpetuity.
Hoping that this request may receive your early attention, I am,
Very gratefully yours,
Harlan P. Beach
