Letter from C.S. Hartman to Harry George regarding some of their recent acquisitions.
Sept 30., 1915.
My Dear Mr. george: –
We returned to Pasadena last week after 4 months collecting trip – Besides over 200 cases of old Chinese goods – quantities of rare old Philippino things, a rare Korean collection – we [received?] over 1200 fine Baskets – mostly from old Private collections = last Feby we had a fine lot of Coos Bay material – all old but as the Peabody at Cambridge was short of such material sent it all to them = will keep you in mind when we get more real Kusean and Chimarikan material.
The Jarasean’s are the Oaxaca, (Mex) blanket weavers – Their old Blankets were very fine weave we have on worth $75.00 – Greatly pleased to hear the school board have at last awakened to the great benefits to be derived from the exhibition and study of a collection like yours = We have lately completed[?] a collection now on Exhibition in Carnegie Museum Pittsburgh – Miss Nicholson is in N.Y. [?] closing deal for 1500 Rare Baskets for another museum.
Very truly yours C.S. Hartman.
