Letter to Bertha E. Mahony (February

Chicago, Illinois
26 February ’38
Miss Bertha E. Mahony
The Horn Book
Boston
Dear Miss Mahony:
Thanks very much for your pleasant
note.
I'll be glad to write something
for The Horn Book. So if you will send the copies you mentioned
of back issues, I'll do my best to suggest something suitable.
Some ideas come immediately to mind, but perhaps I had better
let them grow till I have given some attention to the magazines.
Not that I'm a total stranger to
the Horn Book, of course. Without picturing myself in the role
of contributer[sic], I have once or twice had the pleasure of
going through a copy.
I was elated to learn that you
liked my SAD FACED BOY.
Sincerely yours,
[signed: Arna Bontemps]
