Dear Nat,
   I am interested in Sullivan's Tavern in this city now and I want to get all the Worlds Heavyweights Champions including myself from John L. Sullivan to Joe Louis a total of 16 I believe. I had an address in New York where I could get them 50 cents a photo of different champions but I lost the letter. If you could arrange to have them sent to me C.O.D. c/o Sullivan's Tavern Bremerton Wash. I would appreciate some maby (sic) you have them yourself. I'll leave it to you to have them sent to me. I also would like to have the photo taken at the Jeffries-Johnson contest in the ring of the line of the old timers taken just before the contest. I am well and happy Nat, never felt better. All the best, God bless you.
                                                                      Your Friend Tommy Burns
