The tattle tale publication of the [Cleveland, Ohio] City Club discloses your authorship of the [book] review of "Progress and the Constitution" which appeared in Time, and as a consequence the University of Virginia is at last going to get some royalties as Korner and Wood [Cleveland booksellers] tell me that you have added a substantial list to the lone purchaser who hitherto has been getting copies to distribute to his friends! Apart from this, my dear Munson, you have added to the illusion of scholarship about me which grew up years ago and of which I am all too unworthy. But these sins of generosity will all be counted in your favor on the Great Day, by the Recording Angel and they have already been rejoicingly welcomed by Yours affectionately, Newton. Mr Munson Havens". The letter shows a central horizontal fold from being mailed, very light tanning to the paper. Sold together only, a copy of the inscribed book and the autograph letter signed, regarding the review of this book. The book is very scarce as is ALS by Baker.…
