Julian. <STRONG>Typed letter, signed.</STRONG> Oct. 24, 1908. Over 300 words
soliciting funds for the Temagami Mine scam that cost Hawthorne a year in
federal prison. Hawthorne claimed that he was used by his partners (who were
never convicted), that he didn't know the scheme was not legitimate. Most
commentators today agree that he was duped. From the letter: "the time has now
arrived when I want more money than the sort of literature I have produced can
provide....For the time being I have given up literature, and am devoting my
sole attention to Temagami" After prison, Hawthorne wrote <EM>The Subterranean
Brotherhood</EM>, a bizarre, guilt laden indictment of the justice system in
which he insisted that prisons should be abolished and criminals reformed by
love. Folded twice for mailing, a Fine letter. Included are two letters (from
the 1950's) from a relative of the addressee to John S. Mayfield,a collector
(Dickinson, 1986) who had asked for more information about the
Temagami solicitation. $175</FONT></P><?xml:namespace prefix =
