Receipt of the following letter from the Avon Township office
of Oakland County:
"The members of the Avon Township Board, as well as
the citizens of the Township, are keenly appreciative of
the generous actions of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred G. Wilson and
Miss Sarah Van Hoosen Jones in making valuable gifts of
property and money to Michigan State University. It is with
great pleasure and satisfaction that we anticipate the prospect
of a university in our midst.
"At this time we assure you of our complete cooperation
in planning and preparing for a college community which
will certainly be a wonderful asset to the County of Oakland
and the State of Michigan." (p.3)
