No objections being raised, the reading of the minutes of the annual meeting of 1919 was dispensed with, as these have already been printed and distributed to members. The Superintendent read a letter from Judge Emil Baensch of Manitowoc, in which he expressed regret over his inability to be present at the meeting and also heartily endorsed the plan for a Wisconsin Domesday Book. The letter was ordered to be placed on file. Official Reports Reports of auxiliary societies The Superintendent reported that several auxiliary historical societies were represented at the meeting: the Sauk County Historical Society by Mr. H. E. Cole; the Lafayette County Historical Society by Capt. P. E. Conley; and the Waukesha County Historical Society by Mr. J. H. A. Lacher. Reports were received from these societies. The President announced that if there were no objections these reports would be accepted, placed on file, and printed with those which may come in later. No objections were raised.
