Dear Rev. Hodge:
I am enclosing a biographical sketch, and will look around for a photo.
My fee would be $150 plus travel expenses, including overnight hotel accomodation.
Please [illegible] excuse me for not answering sooner, but I've been in and out of town over the past few weeks.
Sincerely,
[handwritten, circled:] AIR
