Kittery Point, Maine, Oct[ober] 29, 1907. 2 pp. on a folded 4to sheet. Autograph letter signed to an unknown recipient. Topics include the "hateful" Century business and the money Howells lost from the Knickerbocker Trust Company in the Panic of 1907. "The outcome of all that Century business was so hateful to me that if it would have availed, I would gladly have given up my own place in the club. But since nothing can be done, I have the consolation of your letter of yesterday which I shall always keep as a proof the friendship which has grown up between us..." Signed "W. D. Howells."
