Pyle, Howard
Letter: Wilmington, Del., to Henry Mills Alden, 1836-1919
1 item (6 p. on 2 double sheets) ; 16 x 21 cm folded to 16 x 11 cm
ALS. Thanks Alden for sending him a copy of Alden's book, God in his
World. Pyle addresses philosophical issues raised by his reading of
the book. Also discusses the ideas of Swedenborg: "I have no desire
to prosoletize [sic] but I know that a deeply rational mind like your
own would find there a Divine spirit of Truth."
