Allen Eaton to Clementine Douglas, 1937

Allen Eaton to Clementine Douglas, 1937

Arts and crafts movement

This letter was written by Allen Eaton to Clementine Douglas on February 12, 1937. The letter is vague on many issues because Eaton was expecting to meet Douglas at the spring meeting of the Southern Mountain Workers Conference. Douglas' "problem" may involve the competition she was feeling with the Allanstand Craft Shop in Asheville, North Carolina, only a few miles away from her Spinning Wheel on Beaver Lake. In 1940 Douglas moved her shop south to Biltmore Forest. Eaton takes time to discuss the potential of the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild and the Southern Highlanders and foreshadows the educational survey that was done in 1944/45.
