http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50734536

Reed writes to Charles S. Fairchild concerning a speech by Col. R. Ingersoll; his opinion on the political chances of the repeal [of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act]; his hope that Fairchild has not suffered a financial loss over an unidentified matter and will have a good time abroad; a letter from Fairchild's sister; some "goods in bottles" for Clarence King; and his thanks for Miss Elliott's book whose title story "presents the lynching problem in a powerful way." With these is a brief letter of thanks to Sally Fairchild. Reed writes to S.S. McClure refusing to write an article unless at Blaine's request, or to have one written about him for political reasons. With the letters are a newsclipping and a magazine article regarding Reed.
