Adams writes to Polaroid regarding the photography of Rednor Coombs; this is a copy of the letter sent by Adams to Coombs. In part: “I felt that he had a very interesting ‘eye’ and deserved encouragement. We do not see many good roll-film Polaroid Land prints these days, and I think he achieved some excellent compositions. I would like to encourage him to try the 100 series (or the 300 if he could afford it)….” After signing as “A. A.,” Adams types a personal postscript to Coombs along the left margin, which he signs in full. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition. R&R COA.
