Philosopher of Benevolence and New York letters
A New York era piece recalls a philanthropic lady who died recently and regretted funding beggars. It contrasts her self condemnation with critics who blame generous giving for harming communities. The column includes Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Gertrude Atherton correspondence and ends with reflections on fame and charity.
