NORMAN ANGELL

family in her home.
Typed letter signed "Norman Angell", 1 page, 7¼x9¾, on stationery of
the Hotel Chatham, New York City. Dated "10 Feb". Addressed to "Mrs.
Wainwright". In full: "My dear Mrs. Wainwright: I arrive at Scranton
to-morrow Thursday at 6.30. I shall dine on the train so that, as you are kind
enough to suggest, that will give me time to change for the lecture. I am
looking forward very much - after so many accidents - to meeting your family
again, brief and hurried as, unfortunately for me, the visit is. Yours very
sincerely." Angell maintained a fairly sizable correspondence with
this unidentified "Mrs. Wainwright", who would often open her home to him when
he was in the Scranton, Pennsylvania area. In 1910, the British journalist
(1872-1967 , born Ralph Norman Angell-Lane in Holbeach, Lincolnshire, England)
rose to fame with The Great Illusion, in which he reasoned that the
common economic interests of nations make war futile. Knighted in
1931, Angell was awarded the 1933 Nobel Peace Prize. He continued to
write and lecture into the 1950s. Lightly toned and creased. Ink stain in upper
right corner. Folded twice and unfolded. ½" horizontal tear at upper fold.
Otherwise in fine condition.
