Scope and content
Paul Robeson at St. Joseph's Hospital, March, 1943. The Singer/Actor smiles while getting up from a hospital bed. Hospitalized due to laryngitis, the famous baritone was sorry to delay his concert appearance in Tacoma. He appreciated the city's informality and remarked that he would not mind relocating here permanently. His son, Paul, Jr., had expressed interest in attending a western university, preferably the University of Washington. (T. Times, 3-20-43, p. 1)
