TLS signed “W. J. Bryan,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, The Commoner letterhead, December 3, 1904. Letter regarding confusion about speaking engagements. In part: “I wired the Slayton Lyceum Bureau, which has been arranging some dates for me, to see if it had arranged any date in Denver…it has no authority to farm out the making of dates to any other Bureau…In order not to disappoint those who have made contracts…I will fill the dates wherever I can do so.” As a postscript, Bryan writes an ANS: “I am also going to fill the Pueblo date on the 20. The Slayton man has telephoned me since I dictated this letter saying that he did not authorize the Redpath bureau to make any dates for me.” Intersecting folds with slight separations, one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature, and a uniform shade of toning, otherwise fine condition.
