I am commissioned to ask if you can supply The Herald exclusively with a poem in relation to the coming world's fair to be held in this city. The idea is to get contributions     from the few leading poets of America, and the list would be very incomplete without your name. The West is anxious to hear from you on this subject, and The Herald reaches the West very widely. If you entertain the proposition favorably, please     state probable length and price. One or two other distinguished poets have been approached, and have made encouraging replies.

Your Admirer and Friend, George Horton.     see notes Aug 27 1891
