Starr, Eliza Allen, Chicago, Illinois, to Henry F. Brownson, Detroit, Michigan, 1889 October 17

Identifier: CBRH III-3-c

Scope and Contents

Her friend Mr. Perkins of Detroit wrote her about his conversation with Brownson. She prefers to lecture in a parlor rather than a hall. If Mr. and Mrs. Michael W. O'Brien feel so inclined as to offer their parlors, she is sure they would want a dollar a ticket, since they can no doubt seat a hundred easily; the lecture should not fail to bring Starr $100. She will try to send Brownson some reports of her lectures this fall. The first was held in her new auditorium the 15th. She speaks of the clergy present, and describes her hall. In March at a testimonial to her, she lectured in Mr. Nathaniel Jones' new house; 678 one dollar tickets were sold. All of her friends and pupils were present, it was quite unique. She speaks of another occasion in St. Louis. The 25th of November would suit her best, since she has two lectures in New York the 18th and 20th. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
