Description

Letter from M.J. Kohlberg to Harry George discussing Navajo Yebachai rugs. Vol I pg. 308A Dear Mr. George: I presume you have been wondering why you have not received the Yabechai rug I wrote you about and which you wired for, but we have had trouble with the squaw who made the rug as she raised her price $50.00. However, I had our buyer buy it and send it and we received it a couple days ago and I inclose a description which you may keep even if you don't buy the rug. I advise you, however, to buy the rug even at the advanced price as I don't think that you could buy one like it for double the price. The fact of the matter is that I have never seen a Yabechai rug with all the figures of all the twenty-eight Indians who take part in the Yabechai dance. I have had a few of them, but not over seven figures. Wish you would let me know at once if you want us to send the rug on. I showed it to a local customer to-day for $200 and he was very much interested in it, but I told him that you had first choice and would not sell it to anybody until I hear from you. Awaiting your reply, I remain
