Hello Dan, all, Thank you for sharing the Fisch notes on the letters to Keyser. This appears to be notes on one letter in the series of correspondence. Doug Anderson recently indicated to me that there is another letter from Peirce that is mainly focused on cosmology.
If anyone on the list has the copy of that letter—or even notes on it—I appreciate seeing anything that is available. Yours, Jeff ________________________________ From: Everett, Daniel <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 15, 2026 1:21 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]>; Jeffrey Brian Downard <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [PEIRCE-L] Letter from Peirce to Keyser on cosmology: request for a copy Attachment available until Apr 14, 2026 I have attached what I have from Fisch’s notes for 1908 that seemed relevant to your query.

Colleagues, I am searching for a copy of a letter Peirce wrote to Keyser some time around 1908. Peirce wrote one letter responding to Keyser’s invitation to write for the Hibbert Journal. In it, he outlined ten possible topics, including what became “A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God.” My understanding is that Peirce wrote a follow up letter a later in which he outlined his philosophical cosmology. If anyone on the list has a copy of the letter on cosmology they can share, it would be helpful for the sake of my Origins of Order in the Cosmos writing project. I've spent some time searching for an online copy but have come up empty handed so far.
