Bill Nye Declines Washington Visit and Emancipation Talk

Bill Nye writes to Boston Globe refusing a Washington sojourn while joking about society life. He advocates emancipation of women, details social experiments, jokes about ceremonial balls, and notes political caution toward Cleveland. He recalls past federal service and criticizes moral leprosy rumors, ending with reflections on national affairs and travel costs.
