Excerpt from Dedication Exercises of Armstrong Building: For Nesmith Library, Windham; New Hampshire, January 4, 1899
The idea was new to him; it had not entered his mind; and, when writing me soon afterward, he asked me what I meant. I replied, June 24, 1897: When I sent you the Report, with the buildings of various libraries, I meant what I said,-that it would be a very fine and fitting thing for you, a descendant of some of our early settlers, to give it a library building, in memory of your fathers; and the mat ter was dropped. Nothing further was said on the subject till he visited me on the afternoon of May 2, 1898, when, in the course of conversation, he broached the subject of the erection of a Nesmith Library building for the town.
I had supposed the subject had been dismissed from his mind; but he had been thinking about it, and the more he thought the more he was impressed with the plan to do it, in very loving memory of his ancestors. He said - much to my surprise and joy - that he had concluded to do it.
When it was announced that a building for the Nesmith Library was to be built, and the name of the donor for the time withheld, it created great curiosity as to whom the bestower of the gift might be, and a sense of thankfulness for his kindness.
