Dudley, proprietor of the grocery store C. D. Dudley & Son, located in Dublin, Georgia, to Charles Henry Douglass, Jr., African American entrepreneur and owner of the Douglass Theatre, dated May 28, 1925, asking for assistance in booking acts to benefit the St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church club, the Ladies of Dublin. Dublin, Georgia is fifty-five miles southeast of Macon, Georgia, the location of the Douglass Theatre. Dudley explains that he previously wrote in the interest of the Ladies of Dublin to ask Douglass to secure the services of singers that appear in his theaters. He mentions that Douglass' secretary answered the letter, indicating that he would look after the matter for the club. Dudley reissues his request that Douglass help the Ladies of Dublin. He specifies that he is looking for a singer who can draw a crowd and work on a percentage basis for the benefit of the church. Dudley asks that Douglass write to Mrs. T. W. Evans, the wife of the pastor of St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church, and provides her address.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2005, as part of Georgia HomePLACE.
