Autograph letter signed from Frederick Warde, Brooklyn, New York, to unidentified recipient. [manuscript], 1914 or 1915?

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/416480728

Warde writes that he has no record of anything he may have written on the "Baconian madness," but it is possible he may have been quoted on the subject in the local press. He writes "I am most emphatic on my faith in "The Master," ... and ridicule the various theories that the past half century has developed to diminish his glory... I have made no special research myself, but base my arguments on the work the poet's biographers ... especially Sir Sydney Lee." He also mentions his knowledge of Warwickshire country, "I was born and lived in Oxfordshire." Letter addressed "Dear Mr. [crossed out]." Month and year of letter also crossed out but it appears to be either January or February 25, 1914 or 1915. Addressed from 1720 Ditmas Ave, Brooklyn, NY.
