Fairhope, Ala.,
Feb. 1, 1910.
Mr. Edward Markham,
Westerleigh, S.I. N.Y.
My dear Mr. Markham:-
I had a talk with Mr. Joseph Fels, of the Fels Soap Company, Philadelphia, about an idea of mine regarding an endowment for prizes etc. to be given to young poets who have done promising work. He seemed very much interested. I thought it might interest you. If so, it might be a good idea for you to write Mr. Fels about it.
Sincerely yours,
Upton Sinclair
