TLS, one page, 5 x 6. Letter to a respected publisher, Morgan writes, in full: “I have read with much interest the book by Mr. Frank Harris entitled ‘The Man Shakespeare’ which I observe is published by you. I am of opinion that the contents of this book are of such value to students of English literature that I would ask you to send copies, to the extent of one hundred, tothe [sic] libraries of Colleges where you consider that it will be of service, forwarding bill for same to me at the above address.” A central horizontal fold, a few stray marks, and two rough edges, otherwise fine condition. An incredibly interesting and poignant request from the financial tycoon, seeking to share more than just his money with the educational community.
