TLS, one page, 8.5 x 10.75, The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute letterhead, May 23, 1910. Letter asking for a donation, in full: “We are making quite an effort at this institution to teach poultry raising to quite a number of our students. We have been reasonably successful. I write to ask that you help us if you possibly can by donating to this institution a quantity of Barred Rock eggs. Any number that you send can be used to advantage. We can pay the express. Our students pay their own board partly in labor, but they are not able to bear all the cost in connection with carrying on this work, therefore, I am led to ask you to help us.” In fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds, one lightly affecting a few strokes of the signature, and scattered light creasing. RRAuction COA.
