» Hunter (Dard) papers, 1923-1937

Papers include ten letters (1923 Jan. 20-1937 Sept. 21, TLS) from Dard Hunter at The Mountain House, Chillicothe, Ohio to Frank S. Hatch of Longmeadow, Massachusetts thanking Hatch for his orders and payments for (Hunter’s) books, calling his attention to new books being published (by Hunter), and answering Hatch’s questions about which books might be available for sale. Hunter also discusses his travel plans and his failing eyesight. One unsigned draft of a letter (1923 Jan. 23, carbon) from Hatch to Hunter states he wishes to receive the forthcoming work Old Papermaking which Hunter has reserved for him. Hatch comments that folks at this office examined the paper watermarked with Hunter’s image and all agree it is the best piece of watermarking they have ever seen.
