1968. A typed postcard signed written to the copyright department at Houghton Mifflin, apparently in response to the question of the disposition of photographic plates for the 1950 edition of Mary Austin's The Land of Little Rain (which featured 48 photographs by Adams). Adams says, in part, "As this item had some past history (and perhaps some future history!) I have written Mr. Paul Brooks - your vice-President) [sic] and asked some questions which would, or could, influence disposition of the plates." Signed by Adams. We do not believe that the plates received any future use. Postal markings across the upper half of Adams' text; near fine. [#036665] SOLD
