Letter to community from Laura Ingalls Wilder at the dedication of the Wilder Branch Library

Letter to the community from Laura Ingalls Wilder, on the occasion of the dedication of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Branch Library, Detroit Public Library. Letter reads: "Dear Friends, Although I am not present, I join with you in being glad that you now have a Branch Library in your community. I am proud and grateful that it has been named for me and that my 'Little House Books' will be among the ones you may read. Unless you have lived, as I did, where books were scarce and so prized greatly, you can not realize how wonderful it really is to have a whole library so convenient for your use. With congratulations and all good wishes I am, Yours sincerely, Laura Ingalls Wilder."
