Title: Transcript: F.H. Meserve to Kerr Rainsford, Katonah, New York. [March 6, 1944]

Meserve writes: "You were very good to write to me about your Lincoln photograph, and if you shall come to the city soon I will greatly appreciate your kindness if I can see it. I am always looking for something different in Lincoln photographs, and if our mutual friend Louis Owens shall be the means of finding one through your kindness, it will be a happy thing." See GLC 5111.01.0629 and .0630, Meserve's photographs of Rainsford's photograph, and 5111.01.0631, a photograph of Rainsford's.
