Letter from Ellen Van Volkenburg, Totnes, to Edward Wagenknecht, 1959 May 25 : autograph manuscript signed.

Describing an autobiography left by Nellie Cornish ["Miss Aunt Nellie: The Autobiography of Nellie C. Cornish"] that is in need of being edited by "a trained writer" and asking Wagenknecht to do so, as he writes with "power and clarity" and "you know so much of the school's work"; admitting that the alumni of the Cornish School are "not in a position to finance the work" but that they would purchase many copies; informing on the best address for contacting her.
