Scope and Contents
Typescript letter with handwritten signature from Anna Priestley to Anne Sweeney tells her she did not have an extra printed copy of the Dumbarton Oaks poem she wrote July 29, 1942 that was published in the Washington Evening Star, September 21, 1942, so she typed a copy for Sweeney to send to Mildred Bliss. She is sending a carbon copy too if Sweeney wants to keep one. She hopes to see Sweeney this fall when the Chrysanthemums are at their best.
