This March 20, 1931 letter from Frances Goodrich to Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild secretary, Helen Dingman, served as the formal offer of Goodrich's Allanstand Cottage Industries to the Guild. Goodrich outlines a plan for the transfer recommending that Clementine Douglas be the initial trustee for the Guild, since most of the Guild officers lived outside of Asheville, North Carolina. The Guild took action on this offer at its spring meeting in 1931. Ultimately the shop was managed by a committee of three trustees made up of Clementine Douglas, Olive D. Campbell, and Frances L. Goodrich. Helen Dingman was employed by Berea College and served as the Guild's secretary during the 1930s. This three-page letter is followed by a typed transcript of the letter.
