This letter to Frances Goodrich at Allanstand Cottage Industries was written by Allen Eaton and dated June 27, 1928. It was written on Russell Sage Foundation letterhead, where Eaton was working and through which he was introduced to the Craft Revival in the southern Appalachian region. In this letter to Goodrich, Eaton asks for information about crafts in her community. This request for information may have been part of a larger survey; in 1928, Eaton and Olive Dame Campbell were trying to get an idea of the amount of craft work going on in western North Carolina as a preliminary step to founding the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild. Goodrich notes at the top of the page - "Ans. Aug. 1 - sent folders & first circular - Promised newer dates of periodicals."
