Geneva, N.Y. June 26, 1934.

To The Editor of The Springfield Republicans, 

I was enclosing an article by Miss McCausland which Alfred Stieglitz has reprinted as a fine thing.

Mr. Stieglitz has said that " I wish that we had a McCausland in this township of ours "- meaning N.Y. City. Stieglitz is one of the most important and best known persons in connection [[strikethrough]] s [[\strikethrough]] with art in America. 

You now have on your paper a valuable person, and when a man like Stieglitz prefers her ability to the critics on the N.Y. papers you could not have higher authority.

Her attitude twoard [[toward]] the Gertrude Stein play is finely expressed, and were I an editor I should feel that I had a rarer find in Miss McCausland than any of the N.Y. papers could boast of. 

From the aesthetic standpoint, it makes your paper what I think you hope it to be, even more distinguished than was The N.Y. Evening Sun in the days when James Huneker was doing the art column.

This is just meant to call your attention to hervalue [[her value]] to you and the rest of the world. 

Her energy is amazing.

Hoping you will agree with what has just been written.

I am, 
Very truly, 

R III Geneva N.Y.
