Description
Toledo, O. Dec. 9. 95
Mr. Dunbar
The first poem in the book makes 10 pages. Will you please send us copy for the title page. Shall we put your name under your picture? We will print the picture on enamel paper so it will show up in better shape. Will send you more proof to-morrow. Kindly get back all proof soon as possible. What was your idea for matter for the cover? We send you sample of buckram* we received today and think probably the name of the book put on that in black would look very neat, however will wait your instructions.
Yours truly
Hadley Hadley
Gregory
* Editor’s note: Buckram is a fabric usually made of cotton that was used as bookcloth in bookbinding.
