Typed letter signed by the American author best known for his historical novel, Drums Along the Mohawk (1936.) Dated November 6, 1960, on his letterhead from Concord, Mass. 9.75 x 8 inches. VG with mailing folds, some creasing. A lighthearted letter. Edmonds acknowledges receipt of an article about a canal boat trip.

She wrote children's books with fellow librarian Mary E. Clark under the joint pseudonym Margery Clark. Their work included The Poppy Seed Cakes (1924.)
