Letter from Thomas D. Wright to Richard Harvey Wright, November 19, 1886
Thomas Wright seeks advice from his brother, Richard Harvey Wright, on a business proposal offered by Thomas Cozart. Mr. Cozart wants to buy and deliver 10000 lbs of "old smokers," but lacks cash. Cozart offers the Wright Brothers half of the profits if they will contribute cash. Thomas mentions a fire that burnt an entire block between Mangum and Church streets and nearly reached the Methodist church.
