Dear Melanie:
Hello and how are you? And, your mother, too. Please give her my best.
Each year Tennessee State University sponsors an Afro-American Culture and ·
History Conference in Nashville. You and I have been invited to speak at this conference
on the Underground Railroad in Tennessee and on Craig's Chapel and the cave. I hope you
will be able to join me in this presentation on February 9 at the downtown Nashville
Campus. To cover your travel expenses and time, the Center can offer an honorarium of
$150.00.
I attach copies of the invitation letter which I advised Dr. Lovett I would send to
you, along with two forms which, if you can attend, please complete and return to me at
your earliest convenience.
You will note we do not have a lot of time, but we can at least get the message across
to this group. I do have some slides that I took this summer which can be used if you wish.
We can discuss details later after you check your schedule to see if you can attend.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
~-:-· :~!P ~-
