ARCTURUS Z. CONRAD
The American theologian writes a letter ushering in a new president
for the City Missionary Society of Worcester. A rare signature!
Typed letter signed: "A.Z. Conrad", in brown ink, 1 page,
8¼x8½. October 21, 1896, Worcester, Massachusetts. To "Dear Mr.
Woodward", in full: "The Committee on Nomination of the City
Missionary Society for the ensueing year were hearty and unanimous in selecting
you for the position of President. In this decision we were heartily seconded by
the superintendent, Dr. Mix. As you are probably aware now that the society has
so capable and competent a superintendent, the duties of the President are by no
means what they used to be. The Society holds but few meetings during the year,
but it is exceedingly important that we have a man who understands how to
dispatch business promptly and to preside over the meeting. We are also
especially desirous of having someone whose dignity, urbanity and general
ability will commend the Society to the citizens of Worcester. Hence our
selection of yourself. It will be a very great disappointment to the Committee
if you should feel compelled to decline. I very earnestly hope you will accept
the nomination and allow us to present your name to the Society at its meeting
Monday evening, Nov. 2nd. Your most sincerely,". Acrturus Z. Conrad
