Abstract:
Grateful for Boardman's letter, his "interest in my people," and to hear he has overcome his recent illness. "I am very much interested in the Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Congress, and shall not only attend it myself, but as one of the Commissioners for Kentucky I am doing all I can to interest others." Comments on his A.M.E. Church at Louisville and their publication of a weekly paper in coordination with other A.M.E. churches. Briefly comments on his wife and their meeting in Chattanooga while he was pastoring there. Writes about"the Maryville College boys," some of the first African American graduates from Maryville College, including W[illiam] H[enry] Hannum (1869-1942), F[rank] M[arion] Kennedy, O[liver] C[ampbell] Wallace (1872-1955), J[ames] A[llen] Davis, T[homas] B[artholomew] Lillard (18742-1904), and James M[oses] Ewing (d. 1944). Remarks on their work in churches, government offices, and colleges - including Livingstone College, "the leading institution of the A.M.E. Zion Church, and ranks among the leading Negro schools of the country." Mentions Bishop George W[ylie] Clinton (1859-1921). Written on printed Jacob Street Tabernacle A.M.E. Zion Church stationery. [Note: Recipient may be Samuel Ward Boardman (1830-1917), who also had a son who graduated from Maryville College - though, with same name.]
