Seth Low informs Emerson Hough that he has followed the advice of John O’Hara Cosgrave and has given Thomas William Lawson permission to print Hough’s article as an advertisement at his own expense. Low does not believe there is any market for selling the article, as no one would dare publish it, so this is the only way to get it into print. If Hough prints the article during the week of the Republican National Convention, however, Low thinks that it would be very profitable, and instructs Hough to print 100,000 copies to sell. Low will meet up with Hough in Chicago, but says that Hough should make arrangements with the ‘street fakirs’ for these to be sold.
