Description:
|
Letter to [Arthur Heygate] Mackmurdo [1851-1942, architect and social reformer] disapproving of a topic chosen for research and a lecture by Mackmurdo and stating that it has been the 'stumbling block of well meaning people.' He is adamant that Mackmurdo does not pursue this 'unlucky subject' further. This could refer to Mackmurdo's 1878 pamphlet 'The Immorality of Lending for Payment of Interest or of any Usurious Gain.'
