CHAS. W. CHESNUTT 1005 WILLIAMSON BUILDING. CLEVELAND, O.
Cleveland, July 3, 1903.
Horace Traubel, Esq., Camden, N .J.
My dear Mr. Traubel:

Thank you very much for your kindly characterization of my work in The Conservator in June. Appreciation of this sort is very encouraging. If present tendencies continue much longer, the colored people of this nation are likely to need friends and it is quite clear that they can count you among them.

Cordially yours, Chas. W. Chesnutt
