Charles Fletcher Lummis letter to Ernest Dawson
Manuscripts
In this letter to Ernest Dawson, Charles Lummis writes that he understands that his book of songs, probably "Spanish songs of old California," published in 1923 is somewhat out of scope, but he his happy that Dawson can sell one now and then. He thanks Dawson for sending him a book that Lummis refers to as a "handsome piece of printing" with a "very bookman-like text." Lummis is glad that Dawson is publishing fine books and that it reflects well on Los Angeles. Lummis is most likely refering to W. Irving Way's "Migratory books, their haunts and habits," published in 1924.
