Title

Letters of Wakeley and Mirov

Description

first letter is from Mirov thanking Wakeley for his review on his book (Genus Pines) in the Journal of Forestry; he goes on to talk a bit on some things he was dissatisfied with: the publishers changed his book's title, the plates of photos were terrible and he did not include maps; a written P.S. "P.S. Peter Righter was in hospital: bleeding ulcer en. He is home now. Nick"; carbon copy letter by Wakeley to Mirov; he thanks for the kind letter and answers his thoughts on the title change; he marvels on how Mirov wrote the book in 3 years when it has taken Wakeley 5 years for his (Planting the Southern Pine); gives a joke on titles that depending on where its published the name is changed
