Affairs of the Association
THE forty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Association was
held in Austin on April 28-29. Many expressions were
made that this was the best meeting ever held by the Association.
A list of the donors to the book auction is given in the "Texas
Collection." Almost twice as many books were sold this year
as last, and the Association is indebted to all who contributed to
the success of the G. B. Dealey Auction of Texana, either by
gift, purchase, or services. A copy of the program follows:
