Francis Marion Crawford Collection, Accession # 6111-s, Special Collections Dept., University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.
This holding was acquired by purchase on October 7, 1991.
In this letter to the Editors of Town Topics , Francis Marion Crawford acknowledges their letter and agrees to be a contributor of a short story to their paper although he believes himself to be "a poor hand at short things of any kind not altogether too serious for this occasion. Indeed I have written but three or four short stories in my life." He also mentions that he is currently very overworked with his own private business.
