I received your several letters from time to time, and Bill's check1 in payment of your taxes and to apply on the Delahunte taxes.2
I am looking forward to seeing you and Bill when you make your fall visit to Cleveland. If you could stay a day or two, we might have a meeting of the Chester Cliffs Company.3 Kindly let me know if and when you are coming, so that I can issue the necessary notices.4
We enjoyed a very pleasant summer at our place in Michigan,5 and have no doubt whatever that you did the same at yours.6
Family all join me in regards.
Yours very truly, CWC:MKCorrespondent: Mary Augusta Dickerson Donahey (1876–1962) was a White journalist and author of children's books. She was originally from New York City and worked for the Cleveland Plain Dealer from 1898 to 1905. She married the cartoonist William Donahey (1883–1970) in 1905 and moved with him to Chicago, where she wrote children's and young adult books, cookbooks and newspaper columns. The couple befriended the Chesnutts in the early 1900s, when they were part of the Tresart Club and the Chester Cliffs Club. See Helen Chesnutt, Charles Waddell Chesnutt: Pioneer of the Color Line (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1952), 187–88.
