Letter, handwritten, from Carrie Richardson to the Editor of "The Enterprise", 6 May 1897, asking him to insert a memorial tribute to Rev. Charles Elliot Harwood in his paper for free. The letter contains her copy of the tribute to be inserted, written by Rev. Joseph R. Norwood of Northeast Harbor. The last 1/3 of the tribute (probably one page of the letter) is missing. However, it appears to be the same text as item 133. (See scan in 2000>photos>Hazel Brooke Peterson.)
