Franc Johnson Newcomb letter to "Dear friend"
Manuscripts
In this letter, Franc Newcomb begins by telling her friend that she sent a copy of the New Mexico quarterly dedicated to Alice Corbin and comments that she was glad it was published before she died. She relates that she's been a hermit for the month of August so she can work on her paintings of Navajo sandpaintings, namely the Mountain Chant (Fire dance) collection. She says there are no copies or records of the male variety so she must complete them. Newcombs says that she did not send her friend a copy of her book "Navajo omens and tabboos" as the friend already has a copy, but says she did send an issue of The New Mexico folklore record with an article about "The lore" and a New Mexico place names. She praises the two year old New Mexico Folklore Society and closes by saying that it was a nice visit.
