TLS, signed, “Woody Guthrie,” one page, lightly-lined, 7.5 x 9.75, March 19, 1946. Letter to Moe Asch and Marian. In part: “I have listened to the album, Ballads From The Dust Bowl, and like the cover better than I thought I did. I think this cover will look better to a customer on a shelf or in a window than it does to me, and this is how David Stone Martin wanted it to look. Cathy had a hard tome making out what the man was doing, what he was sitting in, and what he was looking at.

The Letter and Words to the Songs on the inside front cover are too small to read. It is like hunting back into the archives of folk songs for something that is right there in front of you. Would like to see these words put in the backside also so as to blow up to bigger size. But I know that it takes practice to get very good at anything and even after you get good at it takes money…The order that I like the records are:

MY NEW FOUND LAND
PASTURES OF PLENTY
HARD TRAVELING
RAMBLING BLUES
CURFEW
TALKING COLUMBIA

Shirley…just now heard the recording, The Curfew Blow, and asked me what it was about. I said I didn’t know. She asked if I made it up? I told her yes…I guess I can criticize other folks records lots plainer than I can my own.” Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, light creasing to three corners, a bit heavier to top right, otherwise fine condition.
