Transcription

Martinez Jan. 12,88 Dear Mrs. Carr I can appreciate your difficulty in getting under way with that article. So many diverse winds of doctrine. I saw from your first M.S. that you had difficulty in getting launched. You were evidently trying to do too much. No matter about the jogs and lifts of the Cordilleras and the resulting influence on human whims and purses etc. Just pitch in and paint your pictures whatever you see that interests you. The changes if any that may be desired may easily be made. If you look for and listen for more instructions you will write nothing freely
