Politician dedicated to ideas of Victorian morality (1844–1915). LS, two pages, 7.75 x 10, illustrated New York Society for the Suppression of Vice letterhead depicting an arrest and book burning, November 22, 1884. Letter to Edward Bok, the editor of the Brooklyn Magazine. In full: “Your kind favor of the 20th inst, informing me of the preparation to celebrate the Fifty third Anniversary of the Rev Dr T. DeWitt Talmadge [sic], in your city on the 7th of January next, is to hand, and I hasten to avail myself of the opportunity to express my most cordial congratulations to Dr Talmadge who in the good providence of God is spared to reach this anniversary surrounded by so many marked tokens of the Divine favor. That the world is better that he has lived in it no one familiar with his grand and heroic work, can question.
Like any other earnest worker, he has found the pen of the enemy dipped in the gall of ridicule and misrepresentation but this seems to have been an incentive to him, to quicken his zeal for the Master and to deepen and sweeten his sympathies for those like afflicted; while the fact that hundreds of young men have been helped to a higher, nobler and purer life, through his efforts and teachings, indicate to every fair mind, that Almighty God has recognized his service and owned and blest the same. I congratulate his church on having such a Pastor, and Dr Talmadge on having such a church; and may he long be spared to minister in the name of our Lord and Master. Very sincerely and truly Yours.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and some scattered mild toning.
