Hi. Due to the age of this material, this content is not a copyright violation; however, I'm afraid that it is considered plagiarism under Wikipedia's guidelines unless you clearly indicate that you are copying material from another source. I have added an attribution template to the bottom of this article which takes care of that. Please be sure to use one of these when copying content from public domain sources (we cannot copy from copyrighted sources). I am inclined to believe that this content may not be appropriate for Wikipedia anyway, though, and I have it tagged it for review to see if it should be moved to WikiSource. This is a "sister" project of ours that collects primary sources such as this one. Thank you, and if you have any questions about this, please let me know at my talk page. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:05, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
