  • Description

    Autograph letter signed. [Incomplete - no closing or initial or signature and last sentence stops in the middle] Speaks of working hard meeting with Chambers of Commerce and Women’s Clubs and hunting locations, then taking pictures all day yesterday until her arm hurt. Says she took Muzzy to the train for Atlanta last night. Muzzy learned just before she left that Oglethorpe College, where her son teaches, is to give her a degree tonight. She wanted Nell to go, but she could not because she had so much work to do. Nell will pick her up in Savannah tomorrow. Says she received a telegram from him saying that Marian arrives in Savannah at 12:35 and expects Nell to meet her, but doesn’t say what day she is coming. Nell called Mrs. Read, Marian’s relative in Savannah, who knew nothing about it. Nell is about 100 miles from Savannah now and will leave in the morning for Savannah, as planned. Hopes for clues to Marian’s whereabouts.
