Single page. 21 x 19 cm. Brown ink. Light vertical and horizontal fold creases. Hamilton, a white man and the writer of this note, was born in West Virginia and had been a Methodist minister, mostly in New England, for most of three decades before his appointment in 1892 as a Corresponding Secretary of this organization. His name is so listed as on the letterhead of this Methodist institution. Hamilton became a Bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1900 and spent his next eight years as Resident Bishop in San Francisco. After an age-required retirement as a Bishop in 1916, he served as Chancellor of American University (1916-1924). This brief letter to an unknown recipient references and encloses (but does not otherwise describe) an apparently long delayed epitaph (which is not present).
