With kindest regards, Ralph E. Carpenter. Newport, R. I. April 7, 1982."

A TLS (Typed Letter Signed) from Ralph Carpenter on Mowbra Hall Press letterhead dated October 20, 1955 to Arthur B. Wilder, Jr. which reads, in part, "I would be happy to have a photograph of the high chest of drawers you wrote to me about some time ago. . . If you have a close-up of the leg and claw foot in addition to the front view of the whole piece, it would be helpful." Included are the three 8" x 10" glossy B & W photographs of the high chest as well as a page, hand-written both sides (presumably by Wilder) describing the high chest.
