The results to accrue from the researches contemplated under the 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th subdivisions of the work suggested have already been outlined with sufficient clearness, and need not be farther elaborated here.

A source of much delay in the collection of facts essential to the completion of the work is the apparent indifference of librarians and others in responding to letters of inquiry.  Some, however, have entered most zealously and intelligently into the work of searching musty records and interviewing the traditional “oldest inhabitant” for light on these dark spots.  Thanks are especially due in this regard to Hon. John M. Lea, Nashville, Tenn.; William Harden, librarian State Historical Society, Savannah, Ga.; K.A.  Linderfelt, librarian Public Library, Milwaukee, Wis.; Dr. John A. Rice, Merton, Wis.; Hon. John Wentworth, Chicago, Ill.; A. Cheesebrough and Hon. J.N.  Campbell, of Detroit, Mich.; D.S.  Durrie, librarian State Historical Society, Madison, Wis.; H.M.  Robinson, Milwaukee, Wis.; Andrew Jackson, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.; A.W.  Rush, Palmyra, Mo.; H.C.  Campbell, Centreville, Mich., and others.
