<div>Dear Friends,</div>
<div>An exciting new project has begun. To promote it the new David Ruggles Center for Early Florence History and Underground Railroad Studies is sponsoring guided tours of abolition era Florence. I have attached our "preliminary circular" if you care to learn more about the project. Feel free to write me at this address if you have any questions. We will have guided tours on different historical persons and movements on the second Saturday at 10:00 leaving from the Sojourner Truth Memorial Statue.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best wishes to all for a great Summer.</div>
