INDIANAPOLIS, January 11, 1869.

MAJOR O. M. WILSON:

I herewith return you the proof-sheets of your Digest of Parliamentary Law.

It is, in my opinion, a work which evinces great and careful research cannot fail to prove a valuable manual to the practical legislator, or stat of Parliamentary Law. I hope your book may meet with success.

Very respectfully,

Your obedient servant,

JAMES HUGHES.

[From Hon. JNO. V. CRAVENS, State Senator and President of Senate, pro tem.]

MAJOR O. M. WILSON:

SENATE CHAMBER,
INDIANAPOLIS, January 12, 1869.

}

Dear Sir:-I have examined your "Digest of Parliamentary Law," and am satisfied that it is a most valuable compilation, both in matter and arrangement. It is a work that ought to and will, when understood and appreciated, come into general use for deliberative assemblies.

Yours, truly,

JNO. V. CRAVENS.

[From CHARLES H. TEST, of Indianapolis, Ind., formerly Clerk of the Senate, afterwards Secretary of State, and now Judge of the 15th Judicial Circuit.]

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., 12th January, 1869.

Having served nine years as Secretary of the Senate of Indiana, and the duties of the position necessarily having made me familiar with parliamentary rules, Major 0. M. Wilson presented his Digest on that subject to me for inspection. I have no hesitation in saying that it is the most thorough and complete of anything of the kind which has come under my observation, and should be in the hands of every gentleman connected with legislative assemblies.

CHARLES H. TEST.
