Padraic Colum letters, 1943 January 30.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/419909953

The Colum letter in this collection, dated January 30, 1943 is written to Mary L. Becker of the New York Herald Tribune. Written in response to her request for "a collection of authentic Irish romances in an inexpensive edition," Colum suggests that "Ancient Irish Romances, edited by professor Cross of Chicago University and Mr. Slover, and published by Henry Holt, fills the bill." Included with the Colum letter are two ALS from Mary L. Becker to Mrs. [Minnie] Hussey, librarian at the Woman's College (now UNCG) from 1930 to 1957. Mrs. Hussey apparently made the original request for information, which Mary Becker forwarded to Padraic Colum.
