http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/76535978

Series 66 of RG 62-16 consists of letters from 1925 to the Michigan Department of Conservation requesting free pine and hardwood trees.

This series documents the response to that conservation effort. The letters requesting the trees came not only from private individuals, but also businesses throughout the state.
