  • This letter was written by Allen Eaton to Clementine Douglas on July 24, 1934. It was written on Russell Sage Foundation letterhead, where Eaton was working and through which organization he was introduced to the Craft Revival in the southern Appalachian region. His letter begins with suggestions for people and scenes to be photographed by Doris Ulmann and used in Eaton's book "The Handicrafts of the Southern Highlands." Ulmann was accompanied on this trip by John Jacob Niles. In 1934, Douglas was busy with her Spinning Wheel shop and must have written to Eaton with her concerns about competition with the Guild's store. Mrs. Loeffler was the manager of the Allanstand Shop in Asheville, N.C. Eaton mentions Douglas' thoughts about moving her Spinning Wheel Shop to south Asheville's Biltmore Forest area.
