Letter from Katherine H. Drury, Paradise Road to Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, January 4, between 1937-1960 Digital
Scope and Contents
Handwritten letter from Katherine H. Drury to Mildred Bliss thanks her for her kind invitation to see Mildred's magnificent collections on Monday in Washington. Katherine says she is particularly interested in the jewelry as that is what she is studying. "It gave me a great deal of inspiration and showed me new channels to study." Dr. Segall was very helpful and gave them a great deal of valuable time. She asks if there are any extra photographs available of the jewelry she would greatly appreciate any for her own notebook. Drury is sorry she will be unable to hear Dr. Wind as his subjects sound most interesting. She ends by thanking both Mildred and Robert Wood Bliss.
