TLS, one page, 7.75 x 10, The Delineator letterhead, February 18, 1910. Letter to an aspiring writer. In part: “I have given considerable thoughts to this article of yours ‘The Battle For The Boy.’ It has some good points, but it does not seem to drive home the central idea…As the article stands I can’t see it, but with these changes I would be willing to look at it again. Whether the state of material on hand would permit me to but it when it returns I cannot, of course, say, buy I would be willing to look at it. I think there is a good idea here which if I do not use some other magazine would.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, several repairs to folds on reverse, a few tape remnants to front, a few small tears, scattered creases and soiling, light surface loss along bottom, and paperclip impression to right edge.
