1970, 1977. Two typed notes signed, written seven years apart, each to Houghton Mifflin and regarding the work of Mary Lavin. Both letters give reasons for not being able to read the book in question in a timely enough manner to provide publicity praise, but each expresses admiration for Lavin's writing. The earlier note is signed in full as "Mary Frances Fisher." Both are folded for mailing, else fine. A couple of nice comments on Lavin's writing by Fisher, even if not suitable for blurbs.

1971. A typed postcard signed offering very detailed feedback to the publisher of The Ski Country Cookbook by Ellen Stillman. ("A good recipe for Birchermuesli." "A few queasy short-cuts, like meat-loaf on p. 42." Etc.) With retained copy of a thank you to Fisher. As a cook and food writer, Fisher was well-equipped to comment knowledgeably on the cookbook, and she did. Staple in upper left corner, else fine. [#036695] $450
