Title: Letter from Elbert Hubbard to May Wright Sewall.
Description: Thank you for your kind invitation to be your guest while in Indianapolis - The calendar 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." If a lighter theme - "Harriet Martineau" is my favorite. Others include "Charles and Mary Lamb or "Elizabeth Barrett." Please choose and advise. Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915), American author, master craftsman, and editor. After retiring from his job in sales and advertising for a manufacturing company, Hubbard traveled abroad and met William Morris. Inspired by the experience, he returned to Aurora, N.Y. and founded the Roycroft Press which specialized in artistic printing. Eventually this transformed into the Roycrofters Corporation, a semi-communal institution employing hundreds of people in a revival of old handicrafts. Hubbard was also the author of several novels and the tale "A Message to Garcia." He was the editor of "The Philistine," a monthly magazine in which Hubbard aired his philosophy and opinions on all issues. He became a sought-after lecturer and was often abroad for lecture tours. He went down on the Lusitania.
