OFFICE OF THE CHEYENNE DAILY SUN,

Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 4, 1889.

Hon. Al. C. Brown, President Constitutional Convention:

Sir: The “Sun” from the initiation of the question of statehood, for Wyoming, has been active in its advocacy of such measures as would speedily insure Wyoming's admission as a state.

It is anxious in any way in its power to promote the objects of the convention.

The “Sun” will furnish materials and do any or all printing that may be desired by the convention, on bids or estimates as may be agreed upon, trusting to compensation therefor to be hereafter provided by the legislature of the territory or the congress of the United States.

Very respectfully,

E. A. SLACK, Publisher Daily Sun.
