64 Brenton St., Cleveland, O.,
Oct 26 / 99 My dear Mr. Small,

I received to-day first batch of proof of the Douglass BiogBiography. It was something of a surprise—an agreeable one however—as I had scarcely expected it so soon. It is in beautiful shape and will give me very little trouble; I will return it in a day or two.

I wrote you to-day, before receiving the proofs, and sent photograph under separate cover. I assure you that if I had expected the proofs so promptly I should have answered your letter sooner. I presume, 0366 from present indications that the book will be out before very long.

Sincerely yours, Chas. W. Chesnutt.

P.S. Please address further proofs and letters to 64 Brenton St., as I get them sooner at that address.

C.W.C.
Mr. Herbert Small Boston, Mass
