3. グリーンの批判
後年の批判: この批判は妥当か?作業仮説
… Mr. Poole appears to have been silent, although his
remarks, as quoted above, show that he was observant
and critical in regard to matters discussed.
Daniel Coit Gilman, so well known later as a
distinguished educator, was a member of the convention.
He, too, appears to have been a silent member; naturally,
as he graduated from Yale College only in 1852 and
represented the student Lionian Library of that College. …

11. 母Elizabeth Coit Gilman 宛書簡 1851年5月17日付
Library business and Buying Books for others are also forcibly laid aside.
As to the latter of these, the New Have bookseller have get of wind of the
students plans for buying books at a discount and announce that they can
furnish books and “less than pedlow(?) prices”! so that I fear not much
can be done by me to compete with them and yet make money.

14. 図書館長会議開催候補地検討を父に報告した書面
I have never had offered to me. I could hardly, desire a better opening, if it was
only in New York or perhaps in New Haven! They are also in want of a Librarian
for a little while daily at the Historical Soc., a similar association to the Acad.
