I agree with William Milam 100%. I honestly think that now, all Bibles and 
the likes belong in "protected" places so that any future generations can 
see it. I have been blessed to have located a number of our family Bibles 
and I have encouraged each of the "owners" to deposit them in the area that 
the ancestors lived. It is crazy that there are amazing letters that are 
from my Gale family in the library at UNC! The family NEVER lived in NC. And 
it was a totally unbelievable way I discovered them. Another descendant 
would have no idea they were there. Others are at the University of the 
South, a good place with the Polk/Gale family being from there, and in MS 
where the family lived who wrote these letters. Thank you Mr. Milam for 
suggesting this to Mr. Lantz.

Dear S. M. Lantz:

Regarding your "Old Book", if no one on this blog is of the specific Taylor 
family to accept your generous and caring offer, I suggest that you donate 
it to the Library of Virginal whereby many Taylor researchers in the future 
would have access to it. It might be better resting place than to give it to 
one family and having it lie on a book shelf unseen.
