It is with great forbearance that I bring this wanton vandalism to the attention of you all. As the chairman of the board of the Library Committee for the Maintenance of Purity and Morals, I deplore all desecration of books other than those incapable of being consecrated to the betterment of our youth.
I know all of you know the moral yet adventurous tale, "The Swiss Family Robinson" and how the Patriarch steers the family in the direction of Christ at every conceivable opportunity thus bringing God's spotlight onto his happy brood and thus ensuring their, and his, spiritual and actual salvation. This novel has been in the Children's Section of the library since 1912.
The vandalism to the fronticepiece of this book is bordering on sacrilege, and had it not been for the total lack of any reference to God between pages 91 and 125, it would have been.
If anyone recognizes the perpetrator of this evil from his handwriting, please bring him before me after a severe chastisement with the wrong end of a belt.
