refused to have anything to do with the matter. So I sat down in my dignity, exceeding wroth, & wrote Miss C. that I wished to be relieved from any further connection with the thing. Cuss such a way of doing business, anyway. We would doubtless have found when the time came to report that our work had been done for us by somebody or other after his own fashion & we were responsible for it. I don’t care to be a tail to Dewey’s kite. Once in a while I hear from Woodruff, but is a very long while. Between you and me, Ed. is a damned bad correspondant, and I only know one fellow who is more – myself. I owe Fiske a letter for Lord-knows- how-long, and other people in proportion. The last I heard from Fiske, he was growling because Ed. never answered his letters. I guess that we fellows who live so far away from anywhere are a bad lot. If some of the rest of you would come to see us once in a while the shock of pleasure might brace us up. I would like to have no end of a chin with you, but what’s the use in trying to get it on paper? The prologue would give me writer’s-cramp. Laura & I like St. Louis more and more every day. It is a dear old barbarous place, where a poorly equipped chap like myself can be of some use and get the credit for it. The surroundings are philistine, but the people are warm- hearted, and open-hearted, and allow their hearts to rule their heads sometimes

In this letter of October 8, 1892, Horace Kephart writes his friend and colleague Charles Henry Hull congratulating him on being appointed as an assistant professor of Political Economy at Cornell University. Kephart also mentions that he has been put on a committee to work with Italy on the World's Fair in 1893. He is unhappy with the way the committee was formed and explains to Hull that he asked to be taken off of it. He talks about Saint Louis, how he feels about being 30, and working at the library.
