This collection contains five letters to Louis Untermeyer from Mary Austin and typewritten carbon copies of "Hymns of the Penitentes," an essay about the Indian Penitente group of New Mexico and their chants and hymns (HM 41060), and "Rimas Infantiles of New Mexico," an essay on the cradle songs of New Mexico (HM 41061), with corrections in ink by the author. The letters, dated June 24, 1930 (HM 41062); July 18, 1930 (HM 41063); September 10, 1930 (HM 41064); October 19, 1930 (HM 41065); and November 12, 1930 (HM 41066), primarily discuss Native American and Southwest poetry and songs, prompted by Untermeyer's work on a projected anthology of Indian verse.
