O. Henry Memorial Library

Asheville, Jan. 31—The movement for the establishment of the O. Henry Memorial Library in Asheville has been taken up by prominent authors, magazines and newspapers of London, England, according to word that has been received here from Arthur B. Maurice, American writer, who has been to England in the interest of the memorial.

In his letter to the Chamber of Commerce here Mr. Maurice states Rudyard Kipling has taken enthusiastically to the idea and has given copies of his works autographed and a letter for the library. Mr. Maurice also states that articles about the Asheville library have appeared in the English Bookman and other publications in England.
