Letter from Marvin Ross to Mildred Bliss, 1703 32nd Street, Washington 7, D.C., November 6, 1956 Digital
Scope and Contents
Handwritten letter from Marvin C. Ross to Mildred Bliss. He says he has heard from Isabel Denison that Mildred has a cold. He tells Mildred to take care of herself and get over it quickly as "we need you always."
He tells Mildred that Miss Der Nersessian feels it is unwise to send the information on the Dumbarton Oaks catalogue to Holinlose[?] in view of what happened about Deurus[?]. He feels the catalogue of your [Dumbarton Oaks] collection should be the best possible and not to have anything embarassing happen.
Marvin would like to show his collection of photographs on seventh century jewellry some day when Mildred has a moment. It will show what an important job you and Robert and Jack [John Thacher] have done working together.
