Letter dated 5/29/1908 to E. B. Gaston from Joseph Fels in London, England. Fels comments on his and Gaston's efforts to get articles in The Public newspaper. They have been unsuccessful, as the editor, Louis Post, refuses to print anything about the Fairhope Colony. Fels tells Gaston that Gaston's suggestion to advertise in The Public might backfire, and he "does not think we should force ourselves on Post in that way." Fels admires Post's consistency, even though he does not agree. Fels comments on the upcoming municipal elections for the Town of Fairhope, and hopes hope the best man will win. (Gaston is running against Harris Greeno for the job.) Fels says he has seen Frank Stephens, (co-founder of of Arden, Deleware, a single tax colony) in England and visited with him. . |
