Letter from Elbert Hubbard to May Wright Sewall.

Description:	I arrived at this port last week, ten days out from dear old Lunnon, with a small cargo of ideas swashing in the bilge. I spent a week each at Florence, Venice, and Rome. While in Holland I wrote a lecture on Rembrandt. It is available to the Contemporary Art.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.
