RESTRICTED ACCESS NOTE:

The following item in the collection is restricted from general inspection per the request of a Hume family representative, conveyed to the Librarian on the 12th of June, 1921:

CARG-01917-R: Folder 4 of Box 7, labeled "Correspondence, 1894," contains one letter (CARG-01917-R) that has been sealed within its folder and marked RESTRICTED. The letter is from a prominent Port Hume parishioner to Rev. Tanner and concerns a private family matter of the writer's household.

Access to CARG-01917-R may be granted only upon the written permission of a representative of the writer's immediate family. Applications should be directed to the Librarian, who will forward them.

This restriction shall remain in effect during the lifetime of the writer. Upon the writer's death, the restriction may be lifted at the discretion of the Librarian in consultation with the family.

— E. Cargill, Librarian, 15 June 1921.

[secondary catalog card, filed alongside, typed in 1923:]

AMENDMENT, 3 APRIL 1923.

A second item in Folder 4 of Box 7 (the "Correspondence, 1894" folder) has, upon the Librarian's closer reading, been deemed to bear upon the same restricted subject. The second item is a letter from the Rev. Tanner to Mrs. Elspeth Hume, dated the 4th of May, 1893, on her deathbed — a letter of pastoral response to a matter Mrs. Hume had raised with him under pastoral counsel and which is, upon reading, of the same substance as that of CARG-01917-R.

This second item is hereby renumbered CARG-01917-R-2 and placed under the same restriction as CARG-01917-R. The same access procedures apply.

— E. Cargill, Librarian, 3 April 1923.

[marginal pencil annotation in the Librarian's private hand, not in the public catalog: "Mrs. W. did not ask me to restrict the second letter. I restricted it on my own judgment, and informed her of the restriction by note on the 4th. Her reply, in one line: 'Thank you. That is kind of you.' I have not shown her the content of R-2. I have not myself read it beyond the first paragraph. I suspect what it says. — E.C."]
