"I have been directed ... to prepare this circular, explanatory of the accompanying memorial, and respectfully request kindred societies to consider the matter at an early day ... To meet with success, all, or nearly all, of the societies of the Union should act in concert--should press the matter simultaneously upon Congress at its meeting in December next ... and if possible, secure their favorable action and co-operation."
Signed: Lyman C. Draper, cor. sec. State Hist. Soc. of Wis.
