This letter to Frances Goodrich was written by Allen Eaton and dated April 10, 1931. 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 reports his intent to write a promotional line for Goodrich's book "Mountain Homespun." Eaton also refers to a recent meeting of the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild where Goodrich's offer of the Allanstand Cottage Industries craft shop was presented and accepted. This letter is typical of the warm and informal style of communication Allen Eaton used in working with crafts people and workers.

Eaton, Allen H. (Allen Hendershott), 1878-1962
