Scope and Contents

"Then, to speak of the Madelaine Vara, etc., matter I thank you for your report on that. How Mr. Kirkham came to recording this attribution without checking with me, remains near-incomprehensible to me, he having been apprised of my feelings on Mr. Higginson's presumptuous assumption of authority to spread such attribution, in the course of the rather long correspondence maintained between us not very many years ago on a wide number of things pertaining to my work."

Additional Description

General

While the letter is dated November 17 1937, this is likely a typographical error by Laura Jackson. The corrected date would be November 17 1973. This can be determined based on the letter's content which situates the letter within correspondence between Jackson and Mason during the fall of 1973 (see item 1976.004.1.9.016, which this letter is likely in response to).
