Mrs. Maurer

October 21, 1921

Dear Mrs. Maurer:

I have just received a letter from Fred written from Nome, Alaska. He asks me, among other things, to try to convince you that the far North is a very ordinary place, much like Ohio. It happens that I have already written a letter of that sort to his wife. I did not suppose you needed it after having Fred in the North two years already and after hearing my lecture and perhaps reading my book.

There was nothing really private in my letter to your son's wife so I am enclosing a copy of it to you. If I wrote you seperately the letter would be hardly at all different.

Mrs. David Maurer, 209 West High Street, New Philadelphia, Ohio.
