Letter from Jonathan Baldwin Turner to Dr. Roe, whom he addresses his "dear doctor and brother." Turner writes at length about his favorite color white. He wrote this letter during the Chicago World Fair, while he family attended and he stayed home (likely because of his old age or health--he makes jokes about being "toted home to his rocking chair"). He also writes on religion. Letter is dictated and includes envelope.</div>
