                              THE TRUSTEES OF THE
          SHEPPARD AND ENOCH PRATT HOSPITAL
           212-214 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, BALTIMORE, MD.

                                        February 28, 1921
My dear Mr. Hill:-

   In answer to your letter of the 26” inst. received this
morning I am enclosing you herewith the application blank
for Mr. Polk Tarwater, which after you have filled it and
had it signed and endorsed, please return it to me, so that
it can be acted upon by our Standing Committee in advance
of our annual meeting, which will take place at Greensboro
on April 23”, and which I hope very much that you will be
able to attend.

   Mr. Tarwater has either the option of endowing his
membership by having $250. or paying a life membership
fee of $100., which payment is however credited toward the
endowment of the membership.

   I am mailing you today by registered mail the booklet by
Judge Smith on Col. Thomas Sumter, which you have kindly
allowed me to enjoy; I wonder if after you are through with
it, could it be returned to the Society for file with the
papers of Mr. Polk Tarwater, for in that way the Society
would have for its use in any publications, the history of
his propositus, Thomas Sumter.

   I hope that this will find you well and that I may have
the pleasure of meeting you personally before long.

                           Sincerely yours,
                           John C. Daves
