Letter #1: 1924 Oct 18. To Will Owen Jones. Thanks Jones for a "clipping from the Nebraska State Journal of October 6th" and for Jones' "many kindnesses to me while I was in Lincoln." Mentions "Frank Harrison's comment the next day." Letter #2: 1927 Jan 26. To Will Owen Jones. Thanks Jones for "letter of January 24th, with its good word about The United States Daily." Letter #3: 1931 Oct 24. From Glen Walton Blodgett to David Lawrence. Request for autograph, including long handwritten list of autographs that the writer already has in hand. Verso has David Lawrence's autograph, signed 1931 Oct 30. Letter #4: 1955 Aug 8. Thanks for Leon Solis-Cohen's letter of July 31 which was "forwarded to me by the Philadelphia Bulletin." Letter #5: 1962 Jan 2. Kindly answers Pamela Spelman's question "about how one gets to work on a news magazine" and gives detailed requirements for members of his news staff. "Openings on our staff are infrequent, and we are really a kind of post-graduate section of journalism. Other news magazines have less stringent requirements and do take on some beginners, but we ourselves rarely have openings of this kind."
