- Description:
- Half-folded mimeographed typewritten letter written by J.L. Hudson to saloon keeper Charles J. Gomond of St. Clair Heights, dated April 2, 1908. The letter was written in response to an interview Gomond gave to the Detroit News concerning a drive, supported by Hudson, to require saloons to close at midnight on Sundays. In the letter Hudson appeals to Gomond by relating his own positive experience with changing the closing time of his own store from nine o'clock to six, and hopes to secure the corporation of Gomond in the campaign. The copy has been signed by Hudson.
