  see notes oct 4 1888 Dear Uncle Walt:

Over two weeks ago I determined to let Major Pond manage your lecture.

He is "up" in that kind of business and knew just how to do it. He paid I might calculate $350, as the cost—the output, and he would guarantee to fill a hall. I at once assumed the responsibility & became security for the $350—

He then tried to get Chickering Hall but it was engaged for April 14th & also for every afternoon & evening   about that date. We have at last settled upon the Madison Square Theater for the afternoon (4 o'clock) of April 14. I must pay the $75. for the Theater the moment it is engaged, & I will do so, the moment I receive a telegram from you tomorrow saying "all right, go ahead."

Please wire me at once on receipt of this.

Alma is here with me & is well & says "Lots of love & thanks for the nice letter rec'd at Equinunk" —Ever yours

Sincerely, J H Johnston
