Abstract

Pencil draft with pencil alterations, also with 6 extra canceled lines and 8 canceled alternative lines to lines 8-10. On a sheet of Y. M. C. A. paper, the printed address almost torn off. Contains, on the back, pencil notes relating to an altercation with a railway Company about an alleged non-payment of fares. Corinth, along with Babylon and Rome, were cities which fell partly due to inner corruption. Corinth was associated with loose living.
