| Full Text | February 19, 1916. Mr. Edwin Markham, 92 Waters Avenue, West New Brighton, Staten Island, New York. My dear Markham:- I have been working hard trying to get the Christian Socialist Fellowship movement going and have had two or three talks with Dr. Arundel, who you may remember was secretary of the New York City centre. I have received from him the old list of the members of the New York Centre and have also communicated with the chairman of the General Theological and Union Theological Seminary branches of the Fellowship. After consultation with these men and with Dr. Charles P. Fagnani, I have arranged for a luncheon at the Hotel St. Denis, Broadway and 10th Street, at 12:30 P.M. on March 6th next, hoping to rally there the group in New York City and vicinity who may be interested at this time in emphasizing the Christian Socialist standpoint. I have been hoping every day that you could either come to me for our luncheon engagement, or that I could get to you and outline this plan to you personally, but as we have not been able to get together, I am writing you hoping that it will be possible for you to keep this date open and give us a short address at this luncheon. I hope Dr. Fagnani may be able to present but if he finds his duties are too confining at the Seminary, he will write us a letter. The meeting couldn’t go on without you, however, so I am taking the liberty of writing this special delivery letter and to ask you to just drop me a postal so that I would get it at my office Monday if you can give us this hour on March 6th, and I will at once get out the full notices so that we will have a full two weeks to work up the luncheon. Dr. Arundel and I are to lunch together at the Hotel St. Denis next Monday, February 21st, at 12:45 in the Grill Room. If you should happen to be in town, we would be very glad to have you lunch with us, but of course it would not be important enough for you to either come in on purpose for, or make any special effort to be there. We all want to save you just as much as we can for the big work that you are always doing. I have your new book of poems and the few that I have been able to read have given me new inspiration. I especially loved your “Man-Test” and when I wrote Mrs. Meserole, who is in Washington, I wrote out the last verse in full and I know that she will get the same inspiration from it that I did. With deepest affection and respect, I am, Very sincerely and gratefully yours, Darwin J. Meserole DJM/WSB |
