Dr. W. E. B. DuboisDu Bois, c/o The Crisis, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
My dear Dr. DuboisDu Bois.

Replying to your telegram received this morning, my summer address will be Cleveland until about the middle of August, after which we hope to be at Idlewild, Michigan for a couple of weeks.

As you don't mention any urgency, I am answering by letter. With best wishes for a pleasant summer,

Sincerely yours, Chas. W. Chesnutt.
