  Transcript: "Dear Sister,
  Dr. Bates a few moments ago handed me your letter & I hasten to reply. And this I do the more readily because I feel confident that a satisfactory answer can be given to your questions. You wish to know, what good all this agitating will do?
  I could first ask what good cause or what great moral reform action ever succeeded without agitation. How did our Savior & the apostles endeavor to propagate the gospel? Was it not by traveling extensively over the known world & promulgating the truth? Was it not by rebuking sin everywhere & under all forms - proclaiming the utter wickedness of the human heart - denouncing idolatry as folly & wickedness & holding up the cross as the only hope of a lost world? They spoke the truth also sternly & made no compromise with wrong. In rebuking the Jews for their treatment of the Savior they said, whom 'ye have take by wicked hands have crucified and slain' 'But ye denied the Holy One & the Just & desired a murder to be granted unto you.' And while the church followed their example, almost miraculous success attended their efforts.
  Again when Papacy threw her mantle of gloom over the church - when a deathlike stupor had seized the disciples of the cross, what aroused them, save the trumpet tones of Luther & his associates, spurning with indignation the idea of Papal supremacy & infallibility. They awoke the plebian & the senator - the peasant & the king - how? By agitation. And the happy results we feel every day.
  Alcohol had slain its thousands - the drunkards hell was fast filling up. We were branded abroad as a nation of drunkards. How is it that such a change as we now see has been wrought? Why is it that one state after another is prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor & we stand far in advance of the rest of the world on this subject? It has been accomplished by agitation.
  Nearly one millions of slaves groaned beneath West Indian bondage & the slave traders covered the ocean, sailing under the flags of all civilized nations yet not a voice uttered warning or rebuke; but now how different the sight. The freeman lifts his free arms to heaven & thanks his God & the abolitionists of England the lash is beneath his feet, & the chain rent asunder falls to the ground. And how was this brought to pass. By the agitation of such men as Wilberforce, Clarkson & Sharpe. Years did they agitate, & now God has brought about the result.
  And now, shall we follow the path which Experience points out, or (monstrous anomaly) leave sin to cure itself.
  But permit me to mention of our plans & opinions. First, we believe the slaveholder has a conscience, aye a conscience, slumbering though it may be. This conscience we would address. We would show him that though he may not distinctly be aware of it, yet in reality he is robbing his fellow man - treading under foot precious rights & [curtailing love on many such]. Do you say, that he will not hear & is only enraged; so does the rum seller stop his ears or assail you in his rage when you tell him, he is filling up the drunkards grave, & feeding the fires of the drunkards hell. But in his cooler moments, his conscience will whisper, it is all true. Is it right so to speak to the rum seller & to hope for beneficial results, then is it right thus to address the slaveholder & equally to anticipate the time when Slavery's expiring groan shall scare be heard for the songs of the emancipated.
  Secondly. We believe, if we can convince the slaveholders that free labor is far more profitable to the South than is slave labor, that their self interest will liberate the slaves. To establish this position we have a mass of overwhelming arguments & facts.
  Thirdly. We believe that the South has a sense & a deep sense of honor. What then will she do, when a worlds scorn shall scathe her. When to be a slaveholder shall be as counted a foul spot on a mans character. Lynching & bowie knives will ill contend against the brand of shame. Was not Robinson acquitted of the murder of Helen Jewett & yet he dared not, he could not reside in this city. Why? Because every body believed him quietly & infamy had marked him as her own.
  Fourthly. We believe that the South wishes to live securely. Therefore we point her to a nation of enemies growing up in her midst. We mention her hopeless condition in case of a war & thus wish to show that it is always unsafe to do wrong.
  'Why then do you labor at the North?' Because in several of the so called free states slaves are yet held. Because a burning, withering prejudice is bowing the colored man to the earth, blighting his hopes for time & often for eternity. Because the free colored man is shut out of our schools & our colleges & put in a place of degradation in the courts of God! Because no mechanic will take him for an apprentice & no merchant receives him as a clerk. Because if the colored man was elevated & it was seen that he could hold stations of honor & respectability such a grief of universal condemnation would go forth against slavery as will cause it to vanish from the earth. Because several of the nominally free states permit slaveholders from the South to hold slaves within their bounds for 6 or 9 months, & others lay heavy fines & imprisonment upon those who aid the panting fugitive. Because the North has the majority in Congress & hence the power & obligation to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, in Florida, also to break up the slave trade between the states, which is the main thing that renders slavery profitable in Delaware, Maryland & Virginia, which being removed these states would be forced to emancipate their slaves. Because the Northern church has palliated this crime & failed to rebuke it, while at the same time it has influence sufficient to cause its members at the South to renounce slavery. (See my last letter about communing with slaveholders) Because in a word, slaveholders as a general thing will never listen to us, as long as so many uphold them at the North.
  But says, the objector, 'I have seen a great deal of quarreling & disturbance arise from so much agitation.' Well, what then. This is not denied, but what does it prove? That it is wrong to continue because incidental disturbances arise? Why then did not Paul stop when he was mobbed wherever he went? Why did Peter & John continue so fanatical, when they were scourged for Christs sake? Did not Christ tell us to expect trouble whenever truth grappled with error. Math. X:34,6. Could we expect a system which is so bored by the civil passions of the heart to be given up without a severe & protracted struggle?
  Such is my answer, given as briefly as possible, to your questions. Had I time, I might sustain my position by many more arguments. But I have tried to be brief. If my answer is not satisfactory to Miss Bonny & others, please as soon as possible specify wherein I have failed. I have not undertaken to show how bad slavery is, inasmuch as I took it for granted that she allowed its wickedness. Therefore my attention has been confined to a general statement of our plan & the reasons for it. May God teach us all right that we may do what is well pleasing to him. For it matters little whether we have mans condemnation or not, so long as the smile your Savior is on us. Mother sends her love. I have had a cold for 4 weeks. The Dr. forbids to sing or speak much. The Plans look quite well & has one pedal to another alongside of it. Last Wednesday I went on to Uncle Mag office & on Saturday brough[t] Ludlow, & Aunt Catharine home. Had a very pleasant time there & got most well of my cold, but was put almost entirely [back by singing & talking yesterday (Sabbath).] Write soon."

  ALS, to a younger unidentified colleague (New York). November 21, 1852. 4 p. "My Dear Friend,
  I have been trying very hard to think that I can come to Washington, for I should like to do it. But I am forced to decline it, for a variety of reasons which press upon me. Rev. Bowen will have left us, and no one will take his place at present: so that the entire responsibility of study will come upon me. If I preach at all away from home, it will be for Rev. Bowen's installation at Williamsburg. Then, the journey and preaching would use me up for a week: a thing not to be considered, if any one were here to take care of the [evening] Sunday. The besetting difficulties are too great even for my strong desire to come.
  I rejoice that you are going to be settled at Washington: and I have no doubt that you can say there just what you please. My advice to you would be to go on as you have begun, making your Anti-slavery occasionally, at timely moments, just as strong as you have made it previous to your call. The most that a man can desire is to have the liberty to speak a timely word at some conjuncture which enhances its meaning and prevents it from being spent upon the air. If a man waits for the chances which must inevitably occur in our legislation, and so long as the power of slavery seeks its opportunity, he will have the satisfaction of bearing his testimony at the most useful moment for his own conscience and for the cause of truth. All else, relating to any special topic, is comparatively aimless, lacking the time's enforcement - which justifies it from the charge of dilettantism and superfluity of independence by bringing the evil up to be hit, and marking every hit a palpable one. Particularly in Washington, where people hear of effects being produced by speaking strongly to the point at some critical moment, I should judge it to be the best cause for the preacher of anti-slavery truth to watch the providential chances, and concentrate this special moral energy of his upon the evil when it has a '[name].'
  Let me desire for you every success and spiritual blessing, and though distant from us may you yet feel the sympathy of all who believe as you do, who will be ready to countenance for you, and who will feel strengthened by your efforts."

• Letters and Poems to Tevis Clyde Smith from Robert E. Howard from June 8, 1923, to circa 1934. (118 items, 337 pages between 8 folders)

S1-2/9: Truett Vinson

• Probably the first friend that Howard made in Brownwood. It was Vinson who introduced Smith to Howard. Vinson published his amateur journal The Toreador to which Howard contributed. Vinson was also active in The Junto, the circulating journal of several writers, including Booth Mooney, Harold Preece, Lenore Preece, Smith, et al. These letters from Vinson to Smith consists of seven pages, dated in 1921, 1925 and 1928. (7 pages, 4 letters).

S1-2/10: Herbert Klatt (1907-1928)

• Klatt was a farm boy from Hamilton County, Texas who was a strong follower of the Lone Star Scout program and their amateur papers. From an examination of his letters to Smith, he was extremely well-read and was a member of The Junto. He entered a sanitarium in early 1928 and died in May, presumably of tuberculosis. After his death, the members of The Junto planned a tribute volume to Klatt, but it never came to fruition.
• Eleven letters dating from May 27, 1925, to July 12, 1927, written from Klatt to Smith, one letter from Truett Vinson to Smith relating to Klatt's death and a letter from the Klatt family to Smith, dated May 18, 1928, thanking him for flowers for Herbert's grave. These letters were the basis of an article about Klatt written by Glenn Lord for The Dark Man: The Journal of Robert E. Howard Studies, No. 1, August 1990.

S1-2/11: Harold Preece (1906-1992)

• Preece and Howard first met in Austin in 1927. Preece was a journalist and writer. His books deal primarily with the historical events of Texas and included Living Pioneers, Lone Star Man, and The Dalton Gang. (100 pages)

S1-2/12: Lenore Preece

• Sister to Harold Preece, Lenore took over active editorship of The Junto from 1928-1930 when the periodical died a natural death. (30 pages)

S1-2/13: Booth Mooney (1912-1977)

• Editor of The Junto until 1928. He went on to work as a journalist, served in the Air Corps in World War II, and became an assistant to Lyndon B. Johnson. He was the author of ten books. (13 pages)

S1-2/15: Letter to and from unknown persons, Undated

S1-2/16: Manuscript, Images out of the Sky

• A Volume of Verse by Tevis Clyde Smith, Robert E. Howard, and Lenore Preece. This is the original manuscript submitted by Smith to Christopher Publishing House in Boston Massachusetts and returned to Smith with a rejection letter dated January 11, 1932. The manuscript consists of 44 pages typed on one side only. Each of the three authors typed out their own poems which Smith submitted. The tattered envelope is also present.
• Smith provided six poems, two of which he later included in his book of poetry Images Out of the Sky, that he self-published in 1966. Lenore Preece provided eighteen poems and Robert E. Howard provided sixteen poems. Most if not all the Howard poems were later published in various publications. On page 331 of his bibliography of Howard, The Last Celt, Glenn Lord cites the manuscript but did now know what it contained.

S1-2/17: Manuscript, Diogenes of Today by Robert E. Howard and Clyde Smith (11 pages typed)

• At a later date, Smith inserted Tevis in front of Clyde and also added a copyright date of 1969 at the bottom edge of the front sheet. This story was published in the book Red Blades of Black Cathay by Robert E. Howard and Tevis Clyde Smith by Donald M. Grant in 1971 as the second story in that volume. In the introduction, Smith says that he and Howard wrote Diogenes in 1924 or 1925. "The story worked itself out as we took turns at the typewriter." Smith ultimately sent the story out but it was returned rejected. Only years later did Grant accept the story.
