Letter from Charles Henry Brent to Lyman Abbott
Charles Henry Brent, Episcopalian Bishop of the Philippine Islands, writes to Reverend Lyman Abbott due to Abbott’s interest in helping him ensure “clean, manly sport” for the young American men living in Manila, Philippines, who are members of Brent’s “Columbia Club.” Brent explains that in his “tilt against betting in high places,” he prefers to give the winners a trophy rather than prizes. Brent hopes that The Outlook, of which Abbott is the editor, might willing to provide the trophy for tennis.
