He thanks him for the Frederic Colonization Report, requests a copy of the American Colonization Society report, and will send a contribution.

Gordon, 1905 March 25, discusses the genealogy of General John B. Gordon of Georgia. A letter from Thomas Nelson Page to Charles A. Hutchinson, 1911 April 12, requests him to aid the Washington Society of the Fine Arts in the development of parks for Washington, D. C.
