Jackson, Laura (Riding), 1901-1991

From an excerpt clipping of a letter taped to the page: "Speaking of acquiring a collection relating to your achievements, we certainly look forward to hearing from Mr. J Howard Woolman of Andes, New York."

"Some immediate involvement in consultation on the book on language (Rational Meaning: A New Foundation For The Definition of Words) has reminded me of the Tulsa Library's holding of much ms. text of this; and I am moved to ask of you whether I am right in assuming that it is understood as to this material that..."

"Thanks for the word of counsel as to the material Sonia Raiziss has still in hand for the Chelse #35 . I'll ask her to proceed as you advise."

"Thank you, I do, very much, for your letter- for the care taken to be specific, especially. I like it that you will keep the point in mind as to the book on language material." "Alan Clark ought indeed to be writing to you before long. I need to be writing to him on various matters, and will indicate to him when I do that you will be looking forward to meeting him..."

"I am going to try to mail to you to-day two smallish packages of manuscript material. I shall be sending you an additional amount within the week, or next week." "I am making a descriptive memorandum of what these first two quantities contain, for your use in your handling of the material."

"You have yet had from me a proper acknowledgement of the copy of the so thorough coverage of the bibliography project that your letter to Alan Clark was. I was entirely pleased by it, your comments on the problems as envisaged by you, and on the part you saw possible for yourself."

"I have thought that I should make some specific comments, on what you wrote to me, and on what we talked of, by telephone." "You will have understood that I of course accept your appraisal figure as what we must go by." "You will have noted that Theodore WIlentz is named as of the literary-executorship group. What passes between you and myself I keep of conf[i]dential status [b]etween you and myself."

"Our little talk of a few minutes ago helps me to focus on my concern as to the course of ammending material for the bibliography. It would not be within my concern to advocate stinting into proprieties of bibliographical scholarship. I myself have provided much requisite for sound biblographical substance to A.C."

"In weighing all that is involved in this matter and the persons privy to it, yourself, Mrs. Chivler, myself, it has seemed to me that there may be no need for the suppression of my name, and I am therefore presenting to you a suggestion for an account of the matter for your description of it to Mr. Wallrych of the nature of the following."

"Mrs. Chilver, as I explained to you yesterday evening, wrote to me further as to the matter of her interests. - She was concerned lest she should not have set forth her position clearly enough for you. She has written in this later letter that she could write you direct if you liked."
