Frederick Douglass ALS to Robert Adams, September 6, 1893

EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE DE CHICAGO,
PAVILLON HAÏTIEN.

Jackson Park, Sept 6 1893.

Robert Adams

Dear friend:

I make haste to answer
your letter dated September first, and but
yesterday received. The whole month of
August has been full of Congresses to
promote various objects, moral, scientific
social and religious, and the whole months
of September and October will be similarly
occupied. Whoever told you that the World's
Fair was worth seeing, told you the truth.
Neither ten nor twenty days will be sufficient
to see all that it is desirable to see, at this Fair.
Mrs. Douglass and myself are not very considerable
people, but it will take some time to see us.
It is hardly worth while to designate any particular
house. It may be well to go to the Pullman House
near the grounds, take a room for a single night,
and, if not suited, feel your way to other
quarters. You will find us at the Haïtian Pavilion,
Jackson Park. (Haïtian Pavilion is next to the German Building)
With warmest regards from Mrs. Douglass and myself
to your wife and all your household, as ever

Yours most truly Fredk. Douglass
