STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
We call attention to the card, below, of Judge John R. Eakin. This is a
matter that should be of interest to everyone, and there is not a town or
hamlet that cannot contribute something. Look over your old relics, citizens
of Crawford, and send to Little Rock, or to Van Buren, and leave with Hon.
Jesse Turner, who will forward them. Don't one wait for others, but all be
first:

Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 25, 1878

On behalf f a preliminary Executive Committee, appointed to prepare a plan
for a State Historical Society, I invite your co-operation, and that you
will attend a meeting for organization here on the 3rd Monday in January
1879. Meanwhile, all citizens interested in the object are requested to
locate and forward to the temporary Secretary, C B Moore, Esq., any books,
documents, files of papers, old letters, relics of our early history, or any
written communications which may be considered useful or interesting.
Respectfully, John R. Eakin, for Committee.

Fran Alverson Warren
