Helen Wills letter to Sherman Day Thacher

In this letter, Helen Wills writes that she is sorry she was slow in answering and that she regrets that she will not be able to play in Ojai this year due to prior engagements. She is interested to learn that the first Ojai Tournament was in 1996 and thinks that it was one of the oldest events of its kind in California. She does hope to play in a future tournament and would "love to see the beauties of the Ojai Valley."

Franklin Hichborn letter to Andrae Nordskog

Manuscripts

In this letter Hichborn says he was unable to locate a copy of his book, "The System" that Nordskog had requested. Hichborn says that he is not surprised that Nordskog was unable to find the book in public libraries because both The System and The Story of the California Legislature of 1915 concerned "crooked Jews" and were the subject of censorship and suppression via book burners. He suggests that the book may be found in the Hichborn Collection at the University of California Library Los Angeles.
