William Skinner Mfg. Co. Holyoke, Mass., June 2 1909
Dear Miss Olcott -
Enclosed find my check of $50.00 [no longer with the letter] to the Vacation House Monument which you are instituting - I hope that you will be successful in it, but Holyoke is a peculiar city and I should not look for great results -
If you will write to Mr. William Whiting and to Mr. Joseph Metcalf stating your case and asking for the same amount as I am giving I think you would get very material help[.]
Sincerely
Joseph A. Skinner
