Frances Goodrich to Olive Dame Campbell, 1933
No full textThis September 25, 1933 letter was written by Frances L. Goodrich from her summer home in New Hampshire to Olive D. Campbell at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, N.C. The letter demonstrates the collaboration and deliberation of significant issues among Craft Revival leaders in the southern Appalachians.
