Shaw, Bernard, 1856-1950. TLS, 1936 October 9 : London, England, to Curtis Freshel.

Title: TLS, 1936 October 9 : London, England, to Curtis Freshel.

Shaw writes that he cannot write an essay about Thomas Paine within a three month deadline, as "I should have to read all his works and brush up my knowledge of the French and American revolutions ..." He also discusses a sculpture done of him: "It is a very remarkable piece ... and it is unmistakably like the prehistoric monster from whom I am descended." He ends by saying: "I have a notion that the Metropolitan Museum of New York ... does not accept portraits of living persons. A wise precaution, as there is always the possibility that they may be hanged."

Borglum, John Gutzom de la Mothe, 1867-1941. TLS, 1922 July 8 : Borgland, Stamford, Connecticut, to Curtis Freshel.

Title: TLS, 1922 July 8 : Borgland, Stamford, Connecticut, to Curtis Freshel.

In the role of political activist, Borglum writes: " ... I feel that the North Dakota victory is largely a personal one ... that shows how easy things can be accomplished, for I really did very little more than make butter out of conditions that are ripe all over the country for the same results." He refers to Harding's administration, which he thinks was "misdirecting our national affairs."
