Dear Mr. Hughes,

Please pardon me for not sending your glove
before this. I am very careless and neglect numerous things.

You went in such a hurry the night you were here that I
did not get time to thank you as I wished to do. I am sure
that the committee and everyone here are very grateful to
you for coming. I enjoyed it very much, and I shall be very
glad to have you stop in whenever you come to Philadelphia
or Camden. Would like you to come again next year?

I intended to send you clippings of your talk, also the
editorial, but Isador Feinstein said he was going to send them,
so I left it to him.

When you prepare your paper on Whitman for your people,
please call on me if there is anything I can do to help. I
mentioned the old colored woman in the neighborhood who
knew Whitman; her name and address is as follows;

Mrs. Lulu L. Newton, 332 Washington St., Camden.

When you interview her, make sure that it was Whitman she knew, and not the old man with a long beard who lived here after Whitman died. So many Camdenites confuse the two, and the only thing they had in common was the long white beard.
