Three TLSs to a farmer with journalistic aspirations, each one page, two on personal letterhead and one on The American Mercury letterhead, all circa 1931. One letter, in part: “If you do the article you have in mind I’ll certainly be delighted to see it…it should be rich in detail, showing precisely how you have managed your business…Mr. Mayo neglected altogether the inevitable difficulties that must confront really large-scale farming.” Another, in part: “I’ll be very glad to take your little article…Will you please send me materials for an Author’s Note?” Overall soiling to one letter, otherwise overall fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope for one letter. Davidson’s article was published in the February 1932 issue of The American Mercury, under the title ‘The Case Against Large-Scale Farming.’
