Chicago, Illinois

Dear Mr. Hecht:

Mr. Porter, Director of the Riverside Museum, has turned over to me your letter of the 17th in regard to Lewis Hine.

I am enclosing for your consideration the only Hine photographs I have on hand, namely

A striker, New York, 1915
In Hull House district, Chicago home, 1911
Slavic immigrant, Ellis Island, 1907
Nashville, 1912
Steel workers, Homestead, Pa., 1969
Getting jobs, New York, 1912
Joys and sorrows of Ellis Island, 1905
New York, 1912

The exhibition in the Riverside Museum will be from January 9 to February 26. There will be a number of distinguished sponsors, not only in photography bur also in the various fields of social science in which Mr. Hine has worked. An article by myself in the Survey Graphic, October, 1938, and another article by Beaumont Newhall in The Magazine of Art, November 1938, as well as an article by myself in the forthcoming issue of U. S. Camera Magazine, will give you the background of Mr. Hine's accomplishment.

Please return the photographs to me when you are through with them. 

Very truly yours, 

Elizabeth McCausland'
