The unit boxes containing textiles that have been on storage for some time, have been unpacked and examined. The contents of 42 unit boxes have been removed & the boxes returned to the Engineer of Property. The specimens thus removed were mounted for the New Orleans & other exhibitions, and are no longer of use.

Twenty-seven unit boxes containing textile fabrics mounted for display are reserved, not for use in the museum, but to be in readiness for any call that may be received to take part in a future exhibition.

Sixty-two unit boxes and five double-unit boxes of textiles are reserved for use in the museum when space permits. A list of contents of the boxes reserved is to be found in my office.
