Remarkable reform letter travels from New York to Europe and back

It moved from New York’s customs house to London, then Europe, then Bayonne before Major Clerky retrieved it at Taylor’s Hotel in Jersey City. The envelope bears so many directions it resembles a Chinese puzzle.

The will of William Morris is criticized as preserving private property and showing little sympathy for socialist ideals. It leaves £55,000 to his wife and children, with trustees to run Morris & Co. as a business or form a company, sells Kelmscott House, and directs no endowment to research. Comrades of socialism are treated with scant charity, suggesting Morris’s creed favored private ownership over communal wealth.
