Mr. Charles Chestnutt,
Society for Savings,
Cleveland.
Dear Sir:
May I ask you to send me a photograph of yourself to be used in some future issue of Ridgway's. I want to make a page of Cleveland authors. At the same time I wish you would give me a memorandum of the books which you have written.
Very truly yours, Frederic C HoweCorrespondent: Frederic C. Howe (1867–1940) was a lawyer, author, politician, and progressive reformer. He moved to Cleveland in 1894, joining the law firm of James R. and Harry A. Garfield. He later served as an Ohio state senator (1906–1908). After moving to New York in 1911, he directed the People's Institute (1911–1914) and was later appointed Commissioner of Immigration for the Port of New York (1914–1919) by President Woodrow Wilson. Under President Franklin Roosevelt, he served in the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (1933–1937).
1. Proclaiming itself "a militant weekly for God and country," Ridgway's was a short-lived publishing venture (October 1906–February 1907) of Erman J. Ridgway (1867–1943), who also published Everybody Magazine and, later, Adventure. [back]
