Letter from Russell Pope to Isabella Greenway
Russell Pope hopes Representative Greenway will accept a collection of verse, sent under separate cover, which includes a piece on Mount Rushmore. The piece had been selected from over 200,000 submissions in the New York area for consideration by the committee overseeing selection of an inscription for Mount Rushmore. However, the committee was not allowed to see it and Pope would like to rectify this injustice.
