Titled Foreigners by George V Hobart Dear Bunch
A satirical letter from 1903 mocks European nobility and American heiresses, recounting encounters with a Count Cheese and Countess pretenders. It laments foreign titles inflating dowries and prompting social intrusion, while urging criticism of aristocratic pretensions and protection of American heiresses. The piece riffs on Wall Street and Fifth Avenue excess as it denounces international titled suitors seeking money.
