Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).

  • This letter was written by Allen Eaton to Clementine Douglas on September 23, 1942 and is a reply to her letter dated September 19. It was written on Russell Sage Foundation letterhead, where Eaton was working and through which he was introduced to the Craft Revival in the southern Appalachian region. Douglas had hoped that Eaton could attend the fall membership meeting of the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild, but at this time Eaton was laying the ground work for what would become his second book, "Handicrafts of New England." There is discussion of Guild standards and who should qualify for membership. Churchill Weavers in Berea, Kentucky is discussed. Eaton mentions the Parksley spinners from whom he has been buying thread.
