Mary K. Browne letter to Sherman Day Thacher
Manuscripts
Browne writes that she appreciates Thacher's approving attitude on her decision to go professional. She writes that she saw him at the Davis Cup matches but didn't bring herself to his attention because she did not know yet how he felt about her decision. She is now sorry that they didn't speak. On the topic of a playing in Ojai, she feels it's out of the question do to a full schedule. She mentions that Mr. Pyle [Charles C. (Cash and Carry) Pyle] plans to play at the Coliseum in Los Angeles, but she will refer this letter to him so he can answer direct. She goes on to write that for sentimental reasons, she would love to play in Ojai where she feels so much at home "and in the one place in America I feel that young tennis has had the most encouragement." She writes that if the tour she is one were not financial in nature she might have been able to play in Ojai. She hopes that Pyle sees his way clear to let them play. Letter is written on Vanderbilt Hotel, New York stationery.
