![["Murray responds to a request for book recommendations on ethics by stating that they have never read a book specifically on ethics, but have gained their understanding of ethics through observing human behavior and studying mental philosophy. They recommend analyzing one's own conduct and the conduct of others, avoiding blindly following trends, and considering the perspective of others. The writer also expresses skepticism towards modern writings on ethics and recommends a deep analysis of one's own behavior to determine the proper course of action."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/William%20H.%20Alfalfa%20Bill%20Murray%20Collection/Subject%20and%20Personality%20Materials-CAC_CC_041_1_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_041_1_4_35_0000-Tasto,%20B.F.,%201941-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_041_1_4_35_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Letter from Murray to Ben Tasto about books on Ethics")
![["In a letter dated August 6, 1942, Wm. H. Murray explains the origin of his nickname \"Alfalfa Bill.\" The nickname was given to him in 1903 after he gave a speech on growing alfalfa at a meeting in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. The name stuck and he adopted it as his own. While the nickname helped him gain popularity among farmers, it also gave the impression that he was too rustic to be a scholar."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/William%20H.%20Alfalfa%20Bill%20Murray%20Collection/Subject%20and%20Personality%20Materials-CAC_CC_041_1_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_041_1_4_12_0000-S%20Correspondence%20St-Sy,%201936-1943/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_041_1_4_12_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Stimpson, George W. - Letter inquiring about the origin of the Sobriquet Alfalfa Bill")
