1910 letters from a Cincinnati hotel - a great find that fits with the 1922 claim that Bambina Maud Delmont's first husband was a "Cincinnati millionaire." Can you supply any context to these letters? What was Albert up to? And when did he finally run out of road?

These come from the Library of Congress manuscript collection. There is no further context. But from reading his American Progress, I think we can see a shift to either Henry George's theories of to Socialism. That he was bitter toward the American financial system in this period is evident. To me, he comes across as a bit paranoid.

"of to" = "or to" Sorry for the typo.
