DEAR SIR:—

Receipt of your letter of December 3rd, is acknowledged,
advising me that you have transmitted, under separate cover,
a copy of "The First Colored Professional, Clerical, Skilled
and Business Directory of Baltimore City."

Dr. Spencer, President of Morgan College, was quite right
in saying that I would be most interested in the publication.
It will be examined with, great pleasure, and I have no doubt
that it is a compilation of much merit and one to be highly
commended.

Very truly yours,

P. L. GOLDSBOROUGH,

Governor of Md.

Mr. Robert. W. Coleman,

Baltimore, Md.

DEAR SIR:—

I hereby acknowledge the receipt of "The First Colored
Professional, Clerical, Skilled and Business Directory," and
I congratulate you on your splendid effort. This one is far
superior to the first in every respect and fulfills the purpose
for which it was compiled.

In placing the Directory before the public, you not only
advertise the prominent people of the race and their profes-
sion, but you bring them in closer touch with one another.
The Directory should be found in every home.

Your undertaking, in the face of so many difficulties,
deserves encouragement and the co-operation of all.

With best wishes I am your respectfully,

REV. M. P. DENIS, S. T. J.

Mr. Robert W. Coleman,
