Mr. R. H. Wright

Dear Sir

We have just had a tremendous fight on Prohibition - The Church people to shield themselves further failure to help shut the saloons here, are circulating the enclosed sheet, which seems to have been used in your city also - Will you do me & many others of your friends the kindness to get the record (???) of this minister of the gospel & let us have it - Of course what you write me will be confidential

Yrs very truly

James Southgate
