Dear Mrs. Sewall:
Thank you very much for your kind invitation to be your guest while in Indianapolis - I'll like nothing better, but you can hardly improve on " the little Bohemian suppers." The calender you mentioned did not come, so you will have to advise me the exact date I am to be with you. I think I'd like to speak on "Reformers and Philanthropists" - provided the members of the club have a address is a trible sober and earnest and if I am to follow, say john Fiske, a lighter theme will be in little bias toward economics. The

order. "Harriet Martineau" is my favorite theme, gentle yet earnest with a touch of pathos; "Charles & Mary Lamb" is very human and a bit humorous; and you heard one half of the 'Elizabeth Banett" -so there now, please choose for me, and advise your pleasure.
With all good wishes am Sincerely Yours Elbert Hubbard
