Cleveland, O., Feb. 1, 1908.
Horace Traubel, Esq.,
Camden, N. J.
Dear Friend Traubel:
Thank you very much for the proof of your notice of the Colonel's Dream.1 It is written with your characteristic breadth, vigor, lucidity and insight.
With cordial regards, Sincerely yours, Chas. W.Chesnutt.Correspondent: Horace Traubel (1858–1919) was an American poet, essayist, and author. Traubel was also a dedicated Socialist, and one of the founders of the socialist weekly newspaper The Worker. He is best known for being Walt Whitman's literary executor and author of a nine-volume biography of Whitman's final four years (1888–1892), entitled Walt Whitman in Camden.
1. The Colonel's Dream (1905, Doubleday, Page, & Company) was Chesnutt's last published novel.[back]
