#005 World Congress of Religious Bound Correspondence, p. 446
Tower Hill, Hillside, Wisconsin.
Rev. L. J. Duncan,
Streator, Ill.
Dear Duncan:--
I shall work on dates suggested, though, for the sake
of more time I should have preferred the later data, particularly
as next week will be taken out of my correspondence time, as I
hope to ride through from here to Chicago, arriving there a week
from Monday, but I will start the work as much as I can before I
go. It is rather risky to precipitate a date on the public before
consulting with a few of the most necessary speakers, but I will
write Thomas and Hirsch today. I enclose a copy of the slip
which may or may not help the soliciting committee. All things
considered, I shall ask you, as indicated, to be chairman to solic-
it the Independants. Push out as far as you can among the non-
eccelesiastical organizations such as you have mentioned, and I
will ask Stolz for the Jews and White for the Universalists.
The Unitarians I do not know how to handle. Not knowing what has
passed between you and Fenn, I am working in the dark. I do not
wish to seem discourteous to the Illinois Conference. I think
they ought to be asked to co-operate with us as a Conference,
giving them time for an executive session. Whether you as Sec-
retary of that Conference will accept this as an official invi-
tation from me as Secretary of the Congress, or whether you as a
local organization will extend the invitation through the Presi-
dent of the Conference for that body to meet with you at this
time, is a matter I cannot decide for want of further knowledge.
May I leave it to your judgment? I am inclined to think that the
latter plan would be the most acceptable. Let there go from you
an invitation to Mr. Fenn to have the I.U.C. meet in connection
with the Illinois State Congress, etc.
No more at present.
Hastily yours,
Jenkin Lloyd Jones
Sept.22, 1894.
