Letter from E. P. Richardson to Rockwell Kent, 15 June 1959. 1 p. Rockwell Kent papers, ca. 1840–1993.
The first director of the Archives wrote to artist Rockwell Kent (1882–1971) asking him to donate his papers. Kent was “naturally flattered” but not interested. Ten years later, Kent lost his home in a fire. The Archives salvaged his papers, which had been six feet under water.
