[Correspondence]
PHILADELPHIA, FEBRUARY 25, 1893.
PROF. RICHARD G. MOULTON,
University of Chicago
Dear Sir:-
The undersigned have heard, with great pleasure of your approaching visit to, and proposed work in Philadelphia, and beg leave in connection therewith to present a request.
An earnest desire has been expressed here to have you explain your own method of literary study, criticism and interpretation. May we ask that you will at the close of your other work, in a brief course of lectures, give us your views upon the treatment of literature, especially explaining your own methods?
We feel assured that we represent, in this request, a general wish and that your kind consent to deliver these lectures would be received with great satisfaction by your many friends and pupils in Philadelphia. Such a course would be in our estimation an important literary event as well as a stimulus to a larger and more intelligent study of literature in the future.

Sincerely yours,
