    Typed letter signed. Thanks Dorr for sharing her joy and says it must be wonderful for Chris to have Dorr during this readjustment time. Tells Dorr that Swedish photographer Lennart Olson is in “Dorr’s” Mexican village in Oaxaca, Mexico, Teotitlan del Valle, working on two films. Says she wrote to Olson to tell him he might find Dorr’s beautiful book in Oaxaca. Suggest that Dorr might enjoy meeting Olson when he is in New York in June. Mayer thinks the medium of television may be growing up and says the telecast “This is Edward Steichen” is “winning all the prizes.”
