The letter defends Hugh J. McGowan of Indianapolis, noting his $22,500 coliseum subscription and at least $100,000 in charitable giving over four years. It portrays him as a devoted donor and family man, not a soulless corporationist, and argues his generosity to city projects and orphans outweighs criticism of his street railway business.
