Mr. W. D. Vincent,
The Old National Bank,
Spokane, Wash.
Dear Mr. Vincent:
Replying to your letter of November 13th, I shall be delighted to inscribe and autograph your copy of "The Conjure Woman,"1 if you will send it on to me for that purpose.
Sincerely yours, CWC/FLCorrespondent: William D. Vincent (1866–1935) was a White banker in Spokane, Washington, who was president of Old National Bank of Spokane (1920–1933). He was an amateur historian of the American Northwest and a collector of rare books and bookplates.
1. Chesnutt's collection of short stories, The Conjure Woman, was published by Houghton, Mifflin & Company in March 1899. [back]
