ALS, one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, October 9, 1939. In a letter written on behalf of the wife of Richmond P. Hobson, Harrison writes to Dr. Martin, in part: “Mrs. Richmond P. Hobson, whose father was my first cousin, wishes to place her husband’s papers somewhere to be open to the public—the thinking public specially—she has been talking with me about the idea and I suggested that the L of C might like them or could give them some idea in case they did not want themselves where they would be open to others. I’m enclosing a letter…which I ask you to give him and consult with him about it…” At the conclusion of the letter, she adds a note to Mrs. Hobson: “I am sending you a copy of my letter. Mailing my letter to Dr. Frank Martin Library of Congress.” In fine condition, with a few light areas of creasing and toning. Accompanied by original mailing envelope, franked and written in Harrison’s hand. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
