TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.75, 93 Seminole Avenue letterhead, April 7, 1927. Letter to Mr. Green, in full: "There are two excellent reasons why it gives me special pleasure to autograph 'The Stone Wall' for you. No doubt there would be three reasons if I knew you personally. I am always glad to do anything I can for a Philadelphian. No city in the United States has done more for me. There is still a warm glow in my heart when I recall the generous way Philadelphia sponsored my work for the blind three years ago. Then my attention has been called to the address of Mr. Lansing on the wrapping paper. I infer that he must be a friend of yours. That is another reason why I am glad to comply with your request. I admire and esteem Mr. Lansing. I have a happy memory of his kindness and intelligent interest in my work for the blind, and I should like to be cordially remembered to him and Mrs. Lansing. I am sorry I cannot write the autograph with ink. You see, it is necessary for me to keep my finger on the pencil as I form the letters. If I used ink, of course I should blot the page. With kind greetings, and with the hope that I may meet you face to face sometime." In fine condition.
