Administrative notes on loaning and printing of photographs, July-November, 1965 Digital
Scope and Contents
Handwritten administrative notes by unknown person detailing photographs loaned on August 1965 to Ruth Havey possibly for print copies to be made. Ruth Havey received original four photographs of the Bowling Green and 1 of Provencal fountain July 30, 1965. A note was added in ink at top, "Handed over to Miss De Vegh's "Pending" file by Mr. Wilkins. A note was added August 1965 at the top by second unknown hand. An additional note was made by same unknown hand, "Checked on Oct. 22/65; still on loan." The second handwritten slip of paper are instructions, probably created by Ruth Havey, to Cooper Trent Inc. stating for them to send the originals and prints to Dumbarton Oaks while charging Ruth Havey for the service. The 11/5/1965 date in pencil at the top of the instructions is probably the date the original photographs and prints were received at Dumbarton Oaks.
Ruth Havey gave account information as: Miss Ruth Havey, basement in rear of 3245 S St. NW, Georgetown.
Originals and prints were to be sent to Mr. Wilkins, Dumbarton Oaks, 1703 32nd St. Georgetown.
