Stead,” one page, 8 x 10, The Review of Reviews letterhead, March 10, 1902. Letter of introduction for E. J. Dillon. In part: “This is to introduce to you a very great friend of mine…in fact the most eminent of English journalists—Dr. E.J. Dillon who you may remember was the subject of a Character Sketch in the Review of Reviews last July…I insisted upon his not failing to call upon you. You will find he has a very extensive acquaintance with Russia, Armenia, and Spain.
