A SPECIALTY. 150 BOWERY, COR. BROOME ST. New York, Mar 14 1887 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
