Dear Mr. Riggs:

The student assistants have finished a
quick check of the holdings of the libraries at Baylor
for the titles on your list. Many of the books we do
not have, we have already ordered or shall order soon.
We have found it necessary to replace a large number
of the editions of standard authors in English and
American literature because of the excessive wear on
the old volumes. For that reason the catalog might not
now show the complete works of individuals as it will
after the orders have arrived in September.

We did not try to check anthologies and
collections either for poets or playwrights. I feel sure
that the care with which Mr. Baker has studied the
dramatic collection there will be very little left out
when our fall orders arrive.

Since we are facing a vacation here, I
have decided to forward to you the actual lists of books
in our libraries as checked by the students from direction
slips taken from your list. I believe in the interest of
saving time you will be willing to use lists in this form.
If we can be of any further service, please let us know.

I am returning your letter since you
might not have kept a copy.

Yours very truly,

R. W. Severance
Librarian

Dear Lynn,

Thanks for your swell letter and the very interest-
ing Santa Fe clipping. You were very generous. We
showed them to Martha and she was very pleased too.

I guess by this time you are back in the Wicked
City but I'll send this to Santa Fe because that's
a sure address for you. According to the papers
you are going to do "Garden of Allah". That's
grand. It ought to be a lot of fun working again
with your friend, Boley, - and is it really going
to be Dietrich? Or Novarro and Oberon?

The book is grand. ("Russet Mantle" and "Cherokee"
I mean - not "G. of A.") I have mine all auto-
graphed by the cast, and it's swell to have "Chero-
kee" in the same volume.

The show continues quite well. Helen went on a
gain for four performances at the end of last week.
Martha has been packed in ice to avoid an immediate
appendicitis and is much better now and will return
to the cast tomorrow night (Tuesday) which is the
debut of Miss Cora Witherspoon. Witherspoon is go-
ing to be swell after she's had a few performances
under her belt. We'll miss Margaret a lot and I
think she was foolish to leave but of course it's
her own business. However, I think she's very sor-
ry now that she did it.

When I see you I'll rave and rant about Helen's
work. Particularly Saturday night's performance -
her last one! She was really *magnificent* Lynn and
looked so beautiful. To be playing opposite each
other on Broadway was really almost too good to be
true, - like a chapter out of "Broome Stages". She's
proved herself completely now and is definitely on
her way.

Give our best to the Tones, Gormly et. al and tell
Jerry I have written Delight Evans about him and want
to answer his swell letter soon. But we practically
