DEAR SIR:—

On my arrival home today I found a copy of your Direc-
tory. Please accept my thanks and congratulations for same.
I have carefully perused its pages and they speak for them-
selves; and to avoid repetition of the commendatories I sim-
ply wish to thank you for the copy received.

You will find enclosed my check to encourage you in this
great work.

I have the honor to remain, yours truly,

You are deserving of all praise for the enterprise you
have shown in getting out each year a full and comprehen-
sive directory of the Colored Professional, Clerical, Skilled
and Business Men and Women of your City. A like pub-
lication ought to be gotten out in all of the large business
centers of the country. It would be largely to the advantage
of the race in the commercial world.
