To Miss Agnes Laut, October 1, 1925
Description
Typed letter to Miss Agnes Laut dated October 1, 1925 about some illustrations for a book being published and how the letters back and forth may have been lost due to a forest fire.
October 1 1925 Miss Agnes Laut, Harlem Road, New York. My dear Miss Laut: I just had a letter from Mr. Mills regarding the illustrations for your book. I am enclosing a copy of my letter to him, also a copy of the list of sketches. I had not heard a word from any of you so I thought that the plan had not materialized and the book was to be put on the shelf. It is possible, however, that we lost some letters as a bunch were lost during the fire in the forest. Our mail was brought to camp in a sack which disappeared. For a week we all worked to save those woods. I hope you are well and get- ting along fine with your work. Sincerely,
