WILLIAM LAWRENCE. Autograph Letter signed: "Wm Lawrence", 2
p, 4¼x5½. On personal stationery with embossed street address in Boston. No
place, March 29 (no year). "My dear Scribner". In full: "I hear
that you read a delightful paper at the Purity Club on Monday Evening. As I was
unable to be there I wonder if you would let me have the pleasure of reading it.
With kind regards. Yours sincerely." Lawrence (1850-1941), an
Episcopal bishop in Massachusetts, was a "liberal" Protestant who generated
great controversy by questioning the virgin birth of Jesus. Lawrence also
saw a close link between virtue and business success, acting as an
important fundraiser for the Harvard Business School and declaring in 1900: "In
the long run it is only to the man of morality that wealth comes. Godliness is
in league with riches." Fine condition.
