Poem: Education (included in the 1923 Braithwaite anthology)
126 E. 19th St
New York My dear Mr. Braithwaite,
You may certainly have the pleasure—and give me the pleasure—of including my "Education" in your 1923 anthology.
I have not yet collected my verse in book form—not yet having found my favorite publisher!
Very sincerely,
Virginia Woods Mackall
