Soliciting discussion topics that “concern the development and well-being of the on-coming generation of Americans”

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.25, The Delineator letterhead, August 24, 1909. Letter to Lazard Kahn. In part: “Your name has been suggested to me as that of some one who is interested in the sociological progress of America, and particularly in matters which concern the development and well-being of the on-coming generation of Americans. I am the editor-in-chief of three publications, The Delineator, The Designer and The New Idea…We endeavor to teach at every turn new ways, new theories in all that relates to the well-being of the individual and the family…I write to ask if you will not make some suggestions for subjects which could be discussed.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature) and slight soiling. Accompanied by a retained carbon copy of Kahn’s reply, stating that he has no suggestions. RR Auction COA.
