Collection of eight TLSs, all signed “Joan,” all to her friend Ruth Ford, ranging in date from 1965 to 1974. Several of the letters send brief Christmas wishes on ornate holiday letterhead. Another letter, dated October 29, 1971, reads, in part: “I’m so sorry I cannot be with you at the concert…for the benefit of the Peoples Coalition…I also deeply regret that I cannot be financially helpful. I’m already overextended in my commitments to other charitable and civic causes…The demands are heavy on all of us.” Also included are two typed telegrams, an unsigned typed letter, and several printed invitations to functions honoring Crawford. In fine overall condition. RRAuction COA.
