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
