    Henry E. Huntington letter to Kate W. Berton : photocopy

    Manuscripts

    A photocopy of a typewritten letter sent by Henry E. Huntington to Kate Berton from his San Marino Ranch. In the letter Huntington discusses the state of his health, which is getting better after his 1925 operation, and extolls the Ranch and the state of California as wonderful places for recuperation. He also speaks of Kate's "Aunt Belle" and how much she is missed after her death in 1924. Huntington describes the marble mausoleum he is designing and having built on the grounds of the Ranch which will be his final resting place beside Arabella; Henry E. Huntington died during an operation three months after this letter was written.
