Description
Typed letter signed. Tells Dorr that he is at the hospital with his god-daughter until her parents can get there - nothing very serious. Says Father George Curtsinger came to him in a near nervous collapse and, after seeing her books, took up photography himself, which was the saving of him. Expresses concern and sympathy for her for her upcoming surgery. Complains about the ZIP code and the idea of being numbered and codified and says that her work and music and the photographs he printed with Curtsinger are a “counterweight” to the “zipping and codification” of society.
