Autograph letter signed from Harold S. Howard, Chepstow, to H.C. Folger, New York [manuscript], 20th century December 2.

Harvard lampoon.

1 item (4 p.)

Asks Folger if he is a Princeton alumnus. If so, Howard would like him to add to a letter concerning a supposed offense committed against Princeton by the Harvard Lampoon. An envelope is included on which a note is written saying that the best way for the Lampoon to atone for the vilification of Princeton would be in leading all college men to end the vilification of "the greatest poet philosopher of all time" [i.e. Francis Bacon].

Envelope bears a wax seal which has in the center "Bacon Dudley Nom de Plume Shake Speare" encircled by "Macbeth son of Beth. Bacon and Essex sons of Queen Elizabeth." Sent to #24 Brevoort Place, Brooklyn.
