Gents,
I have just noticed in Harper’s Weekly a collection of poems published by you. Kindly send me word when I can obtain a couple of copies.
I do not even know the home of the author, but it is the collection noticed by W D Howells [William Dean Howells].
Truly yours
Thos Shallcross

Paul Laurence Dunbar St.), the home Dunbar purchased for his mother, Matilda J. Dunbar, in 1904. Paul Laurence Dunbar lived there until his death in 1906; Matilda lived there until her death in 1934. It is now the Paul Laurence Dunbar House Historic Site, part of the National Park Service.
