If she knows of someone who is a Baconian, but has not read Dodd's book, [The personal poems of Francis Bacon], she should entreat said person to finance the larger edition of this work. Compares the expression on the Folger Library's Puck statue to Bacon's thought of playing mischief with the public. Included is a long postcript written by Howard discussing Frank H. Simond's Can Europe keep the peace? and a table of contents of the abridged Dodd Edition of the Shakespeare's Sonnets. Also, an excerpt from C.W. Hopper's 160 Sonnets to Shake-Speare containing a sonnet beginning "Three centuries have passed and still your claim."
Discusses the Bacon bi-lateral cipher and suggests that Mrs. Folger could provide a preface to the abridged "gem" edition of Mr. [Alfred] Dodd's book to "put your library on the right side of the fence, forever." Mentions various Baconians including Dr. Owen and Mrs. Gallup. A newspaper clipping of a review of Alfred Dodd's The personal poems of Francis Bacon is included in this letter and can be found in this file. Letter includes manuscript edits and notes in Howard's hand.
He is enclosing a notice of a book find. Speaks of the progress of work at the Standing Stone Camp and entreats Folger to come see it, so Howard can sell him a volume. A visit from Folger would help to further his project of creating a Shakespeare memorial in Boston, which Howard asks to be named a Bacon memorial. Includes three photographs of the Standing Stone Camp and a newspaper clipping about the surfacing of a first edition of Bacon's Novum organum.
Regarding some Bacon manuscripts which Howard hopes to acquire soon and offer to Folger. Includes a clipping from December 6, 1926 which contains an article about European power in China and American diplomacy, entitled "Treat China as One of Us: Anglo-American Lead Wanted."
Speaks of his travels through Winchester, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Wilton, and finally Bath during which there were various occurences which reminded him of the Arcadia cipher. He had a three hour interview with Mr. [William T.] Smedley who disclaimed all faith in Mr. [Orville Ward] Owen and Mrs. Gallup's work. Also mentions Parker Woodward's mistrust of [Walter Conrad] Arensberg's book, The secret grave of Francis Bacon at Lichfield. Mr. Smedley has told him that Mrs. Folger is not a Baconian. Was unaware that Smedley had sold most of his library to Folger. Smedley has told him that Folger is going to found a Shakespeare Memorial in Boston and he would like to suggest that it be a Bacon memorial.
Indicates that he has heard "nothing but unqualified praise" of Salisbury's portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Folger.
Asks Folger if he is a Princeton alumnus. If so, Howard would like him to add to a letter concerning a supposed offense committed against Princeton by the Harvard Lampoon. An envelope is included on which a note is written saying that the best way for the Lampoon to atone for the vilification of Princeton would be in leading all college men to end the vilification of "the greatest poet philosopher of all time" [i.e. Francis Bacon].
James Hosmer, son of Stephen Hosmer, was baptized in 1605 in Hawkhurst, county of Kent, England and later settled in Massachusetts. Descendants lived in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, New York, Michigan, Illinois, and elsewhere.
