NORMAN ANGELL
Letter typed on stationery from New York City's Commodore Hotel and signed by
Angell. In it, he accepts an offer for lodging with a Mrs. Wainwright in
Scranton, Pennsylvania, an invitation he hadn't been able to accept until then
due to illness
Typed letter signed "Norman Angell". 1 page, 5 ½x8¼, on stationery of
the Commodore Hotel of New York City. Dated "Feb. 4". Addressed to "Mrs.
Wainwright". 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. Hewrote this during a
lecture tour. In it, he says that he needed to fulfill an engagement in
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and would thus be able to accept her invitation to
stay at her home (which he hadn't been able to accept until then to illness). In
1910, British journalist Angell (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 also invented the Money Game, which were card games
designed to teach its players about currency and credit. He continued to write
and lecture into the 1950s. Lightly toned and creased. Folded twice and
unfolded. Otherwise in fine condition.
