A few days prior to June 20th, which was my birthday, you addressed to me a letter of congratulations and good wishes, together with a copy of the Century Magazine, both of which were delivered.1 Unfortunately the letter was opened by a member of my family who laid it aside among other papers and it was not brought to my attention until several months thereafter.2
Please accept my apologies for not having acknowledged the receipt of the letter and the magazine before now, and believe that I appreciate in the highest degree your courtesy and good wishes.
Most sincerely, CWC:FLCorrespondent: Glenn Frank (1887–1940) was a White orator, writer, and editor from Queen City, Missouri. He became first associate editor (1919–1921) and then editor in chief (1921–1925) at Century Magazine before serving as president of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1925–1937). In both roles, he spoke out against the KKK and white supremacy.
