Lawrence, Kansas, June 1  1880

Gov St. John

Dear Bro,  are you engaged for Sub P.M July 4?  If not, I am requested by the Com. of Linwood Temp-Union to invite you to address the citisens in the South part of Leavenworth Co., at that time and place -

They will meet in the grove near the Ch. if the weather is favorable - that part of  "enth Co greatly needs waking up and a speech from you, would call out and reach a large class, who do not attend ordinary Temp Lectures -

I hope you will consent to speak if possible - you can come down on the 4. P.M. train - and return on the night train -

Yours Fraternally

A.M. Richardson
