Letter, 1910-1920, San Jose, California [to] Mr. Edwin Markham, New York City. / Henry Mead Bland. 1910-1920.

Henry has an ax to grind with Edwin as it was with Stoddard and Joaqin Miller. He discusses his classes at the Normal School. He issued a special number of our Magazine this spring in honor of the 15th Anniversary of our Normal. He is not asking Edwin to write something special. He would like to select a poem of Edwin's. He needs an answer from Edwin.

2 p. 1 leaf c 18-25 cm.
