Lofton, William S.: Washington, D. C. to William J. Onahan: Chicago, Ill(inois), 1893 June 2

Lofton recommends Ja(me)s A. Spencer as a colored representative to read a paper at the Columbian Catholic Congress. He asks Onahan's opinion on a large representation of colored in the Columbian Catholic Congress. If so, should the Colored Catholic Congress meet just before the Columbia Congress or join in? Lofton is the secretary to the Colored Congress. He will report any arrangements to Spencer, the President of the Colored Congress.
