Typed letter signed "Fannie Hurst". 1 page, 8½x11. March
30, 1939. Addressed to Miss Willa Gray Martin, New York City. In
full: "My dear Miss Martin: Thank you for your letter of March 27th with
enclosures. I think it is an intelligent thing to do because even while the
person interviewed may forget it, the ultimate printed story coming along
revives interest. I hope you are moving along toward fulfillment of your
ideas and ideals. I think you did a good job on your interview with me.
Sincerely yours, Fannie Hurst". WILLA GRAY MARTIN (1911-2006) was a
reporter for Associated Press. She was the second wife of Marvin Pierce,
president of Redbook and McCall's publisher McCall Corporation.
