- Abstract
- In 1952 there are thirty-two letters [five with envelopes], two fragmentary letters, two cards [one with envelope], and a telegram. Within these are eleven letters, one fragmentary letter, one post card and one Christmas card from Mary Cabot Wheelwright to Maria Chabot and five letters from MC to MCW. There are six letters from Josiah Wheelwright to MC and eight letters from MC to JW, two of which are undated drafts in response to his letter of March 23, 1953. MC to JW, July 11, 1952 is typed on the back of a letter of the same date, MC to MCW. There is one letter from JW to MCW, 3-16-52, which is followed by the last two pages only of another letter from JW presumably to MCW because it continues the theme of the previous letter, concerning MCW living beyond her means. There is one letter from Gertrude Chapin to MC, Jan. 1, 1952, and one letter from MC to Gertrude Chapin, Jan. 5, 1952. There is one telegram from J.O. Seth to New Mexico's U.S. congressmen concerning suspension of a channeling project caused by the Los Luceros boundary dispute with Z. Velarde. In 1953 there are twenty-seven letters. These include six letters [several with copies] from January through March concerning the Velarde land dispute. The letter of April 11, 1953 concerns MCW's purchase of land involved in the dispute. There are nine letters from MC to MCW and five letters from MCW to MC. The letter from MC to MCW, March 28, 1953 is accompanied with two Angus cattle certificates. The letter from MC to MCW, Sept. 17, 1953, was found in the accompanying envelope with three notes concerning costs of house repairs. A letter from MC to Oliver Seth, July 28, 1953, states that the purchased land is to be deeded to her, and a letter from Oliver Seth to MC, Aug. 28, 1953, confirms this to be done. A letter from MC to J.O. Seth, Aug. 1, 1953, includes a detailed history of the finances at Los Luceros, 1944– 1952. There are three letters between MC and E. Boyd of the Museum of New Mexico: an exhibition loan receipt from Boyd for a retablo in MCW's collection, Nov. 13, 1953; a letter from MC to EB concerning the loan, Dec. 12, 1953; and a reply from EB to MC, Dec. 31, 1953.
