Cleveland, Feb. 23, 1853.
MR. HOWARD:--Dear Sir,--If Miss Greenfield would accept an
engagement for three months, to travel in the interior of this, and
adjoining states, I should like to give it a trial.
If we undertake it and are successful, I should like to give a
series of concerts in New York, after the opening of the World's
Fair--and probably make a second engagement. Please consult with
Miss Greenfield, and let me know her mind. If she accepts, every
thing will be done to make it pleasant for her. I will come to
Buffalo and settle preliminaries on hearing from you.
I have letters of recommendation from Mr. Barnum, which I do not
deem necessary to send you, as you saw Mr. Barnum in New York so
recently.
Truly yours,
