Full text of letter:
April 22 1895
Mr. Paul Dunbar.
Dayton O.
Dear Sir.
Some time ago Mr. Thatcher of Toledo spoke to me about having you come to Lakeside and that you would do so for expenses for a week. Dr. Bashford has now written in your behalf.
We are to have the “Tennessee Warblers” here July 23rd to 30th and they will give there concerts. It occurs to me you might be worked into there concerts. While I present this to you I will submit the matter to our program committee and will hear from them about as soon as from you.
Yours Truly S.R. Gill
Secty.
