[typewritten text: Oct [October], 21, 1927.
Mr. Stein,
Douglas Theatre,
Macon, Ga. [Georgia]
Dear Mr. Stein:
Would you be good enough to give me a little advice as to where I can get a good colored picture, just about what it will cost me, and any thing [anything] more you think would be of help to me.
Had to go to Atlanta this week so did not get over for the fight, but I sure will come over for one sometime.
Yours very truly,]
[Signed] [written text: A. H. Yeomans.]
