5. Letter from Grant Chamberlain to John Wilson - Letter from Grant Chamberlain to John Wilson expressing his grievences with Wilson as he changed the time he was going to instruct the children in tennis at the last minute. Publicity was sent out and children were told Saturday morning, and Wilson had to change to Friday evening due to business arrangements. Additionally having to split age groups, one age group missed over half the lesson due to classes being cancelled due to bad weather. Therefore Chamberlain thinks it is only fair to pay Wilson $5 per lesson for a total of $60.
