This is a letter from A. G. Butler to Thomas B. Strong with Strong's message to John Stanhope Arkwright on the back. The transcription:
My dear Strong,
If Arkwright would care for a very sympathetic criticism of his poem, I would ask you to do the introducing process, and ask him if it would suit him to come to me here between 12 and 1 tomorrow--or at any lateish time in the afternoon that he would name.
There were certain points in S. I could convey to him over views of one or two parts of the poem, ___ was very thoroughly discussed by the Electors.
Ever Yours
A. G. Butler
May 21 '95
On the back is Strong's forwarding message to John that reads:
Dear Arkwright
Please read this note. Butler was an elector. Would you care to talk to him?
Yours ever
Thomas B. Strong
