Mr. Charles W. Chesnutt, Cleveland, Ohio,
My dear Mr, Chesnutt:-

Only a line to advise you that Hon. J.S. Fassett of this State is exceedingly enthusiastic over "The Marrow of Tradition", and wantedwants to know of me whether or not you have another book in course of preparations. He has read your "Conjure Woman" and "The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories." Mr. Fassett is, as you may know, one of the ablest men in public life in this State. He was the Republican candidate for Governor some years ago, and was Collector of the Port of New York under the Harrison administration. If I am not mistaken, he married the daughter of Crocker, the California Gold baron. He seems to feel that your books have not the circulation which their merits entitle them to, and is now busying himself in your behalf by calling them to the attionattention of his literary friends. This is such pleasant news that I thought I ought to pass it on to you.

I am now far and deep in the work of preparing my Annual Report of the GroosGross Receipts of Racing Associations, and when it is all concluded , I may turn my face toward Cleveland and the West. If so, I shall do myself the pleasure of looking in on you. Let me hear from you at your convenience. My office is Room 10, Fifth Avenue Hotel. Hoping that you and yours are well, I am

Yours truly, Charles W. Anderson
