Dear Sir: Since writing the accompanying, it has occured to me that if you find it convenient to attend this exhibition, we will make effort to secure the presence of the governors of the other NorthWestern States.

We will do what we can to secure such a meeting if agreeable & convenient to you. If proper & you can accept the invitation, it might be an aid in securing such a result, if you will make such a suggestion in response to the enclosed.

Most Rispy

Chas D. Bragdon

Write a very polite letter, highly appreciative objects, & saying I shall visit Chicago in next 10 days & will decide.
