Description |
Letter dated 8/29/1893 to E. B. Gaston from Robert H. Cowdrey of Chicago. Cowdrey is a reformer, and is planning to start a colony near theTopolobamppo Colony in Mexico, of which he is not impressed. He is concerned about Robert Owen's (the utopian socialist) influence on that colony. This is an interesting letter, full of information about the state of the cooperative movement in the world. He urges Gaston to join him rather than start another new colony, both for the hard work it will take, and also because he feels such enclaves situated in the United States will not suceed. |
