Letter, 1916 Aug. 10, Highlands, N.C., to [anonymous].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55517902

Mimeographed letter in which Billstein describes his meeting with author of "A Woman Rice Planter," Mrs. Elizabeth Waties Allston Pringle (1845-1921), who wrote the book under the pen name "Patience Pennington." Pringle reported that she had received many letters praising the book, including one from Winston Churchill. Pringle explained editorial changes imposed on the manuscript by the publishers, "the experiences cover a period of 25 years, from 1881 to 1906, but as given in the book they are made to appear as embracing three years ... to me a shortsighted idea ... financial return from the publication has been small ... Mrs. Pringle said she has planted no more rice ..."
