Dance choreographer and creator of over 150 ballets. ALS signed “Martha,” seven pages on two sets of adjoining sheets, 6 x 8, May 31. Graham writes to Katharine "Kit" Cornell, in part: “It is almost time for me to leave—and all my thoughts are of you. These have been heavenly days—full of sun and peace—I cannot begin to tell you how much this has done for me, physically and spiritually too. Anna has been wonderful—in every way—she has managed exactly as though you were here, because of her devotion to you, and I have grown very fond of you. I have practiced my technique—in front of the big open door—and most important of all I have had hours to think and plan my production in August at Bennington—over which I have been nervous—it is partly on paper—I feel so relieved—up to now I have felt so dry and I was afraid I had nothing left for this busy summer…so God must be with me…I shall be in New York until July fifth. I go then to Bennington College, Bennington, Vermont—where I shall teach until August seventeenth—and then to Santa Barbara until October first.” In fine condition.
