My dear Pep:-
Sometime sooner or later a friend of ours, Miss Candace Thurber, will call at the Museum, and I've given her a card to you, for I think you will enjoy meeting her and can also help her a little (or more if you want to) in what she is looking for.
She is trying to work up a chapter on Indian Embroidery + design, for a book her aunt, Miss Candace Wheeler, is writing on the general subject, of the History + development of the art, as I understand it.
If you could turn her loose on the kind of thing she will tell you, or be good enough to introduce her to the most likely person at the Museum to be of help to her, I shall be very grateful to you, and she will be much more so, which is much more important, as you may guess. She is quite anxious to do some good sincere work, + I could think of no better turn I could do her than have her meet you. If I have imposed on you, its too late to fix it now. Yours as ever
L.A.F.
