Letter from Elbert Hubbard to May Wright Sewall.

Description:	On my way to the station from your house I met a strange man who informed me he heard my lecture at the Contemporary Club - and this man made slighting and slurring remarks about one Jacob Dunn - because said Jacob knew not the gold of silence. And this man chortled softly and said, But didnt Mrs. Sewall apply the snuffers to him gracefully - oh that was good! I think of you often in bright cheery ways; and it occurs to me as I write that no man has a right to be cheery until his hair is white and sorrow has pierced his heart - but I may be wrong. Mrs. Hubbard joins me in love to you.Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915), American author, master craftsman, and editor. After retiring from his job in sales and advertising for a manufacturing company, Hubbard traveled abroad and met William Morris. Inspired by the experience, he returned to Aurora, N.Y. and founded the Roycroft Press which specialized in artistic printing. Eventually this transformed into the Roycrofters Corporation, a semi-communal institution employing hundreds of people in a revival of old handicrafts. Hubbard was also the author of several novels and the tale A Message to Garcia. He was the editor of The Philistine, a monthly magazine in which Hubbard aired his philosophy and opinions on all issues. He became a sought-after lecturer and was often abroad for lecture tours. He went down on the Lusitania.
