Dear Sir

The Temperance Organizations in this County expect to have a grand temperance rally & picnic at the grove near this place on Sunday Sept. 5

The Co. Central Com. desire to secure you as one of the speakers for the occasion.

Be kind enough to inform us if you can be with us so that we may place your name on the bills.

We expect to open the Campaign for St. John & Prohibition in this county by this Rally.
