Description
Full text of letter:
(Page 1)
Mar. 29 – “95
Dear Mr. Dunbar:
I intended writing you a few days since about a conversation I had with S. R. Gill. Lakeside Ohio
Secretary of the Camp meeting association. In the midst of business I have forgotten whether I wrote you or not.
I saw Mr. Gill & advised him to secure you to give true recitals during the Sunday school encampment. Which I believe comes off in July. It might be well for you to write home on the subject! I will write to Dr. Bashford & ask him to use his influence for you.
How much money would it require for you to attend the spring term at Delaware?
(Page 2)
It is possible that I will be in Cincinnati during the coming month. If I am will look up Shearer. I presume that I neglected to enclose $2.00. You will find it in this
Very truly yours
CA Thatcher
You might write Shearer again
