The three-page letter reads: "Friday Noon [Nov. 17- '39] Dear Phil, I came an idea about Texas Folk Lore Society. The books should be in more schools. We can let schools have sets at $25.00 each. I wonder if you would be interested in letting a dozen or so men scattered around to place that many sets in schools. The school libraries always seem to be short of funds for buying books. It would be a nice gesture for a man or business to place a set of the books in his town's school library. Well, good wishes - Frank Dobie." Fine condition.
