Description
Typed letter signed. Letter notes Dorr is at the Gaylord Sanitorium. Tells that his wife thought to celebrate his Ninetieth Birthday with “Happy Remembrances” of his life from friends and family, but then the idea “exploded” and went from “one small volume to five - and still they come!” Tells that they begin with one from [his brother] Goldthwaite and include memories from “Rutgers, the Black Hills. New York, West Branch, Villa Serena, Europe, Africa, Mexico … from all over the world and from the years of my life.” Expresses their thanks to all who contributed to this “labor of love.”
