American philosopher, N.H. resident.
Two letters written by Ernest Hocking, accompanied by an inscribed photo. In the first letter, written to Marshall Bean, Hocking expresses some of his basic philosophical beliefs, particularly noting the influence of Herbert Spencer’s First Principles and describing his interpretation of Christ’s crucifixion. In the second letter, Hocking promises to send an inscribed book to Mr. Johann, but notes that his age (91) limits and challenges what he is capable of doing.
