May 6, 1937
Dr. Carita Doggett Corse,
State Director, Federal Writers' Project,
Jacksonville, Florida
Dear Dr. Corse:
I answer to yours of May 2, it will probably be first of week before I can have photostat of Fernandina map by Mrs. Dollheimer ready. Miss Damon, Capitol photostat machine operator, has been laid up with a twisted ankle I understand. I'll be glad to see after this matter for you.
You'll have to pardon my slowness in getting chapter on Medical history to you. I've been swamped with work to such an extent recently that I am having to leave much undone. Chapter will be sent you just as soon as I can have copy made.
If you're not against it and do not think it will hurt you (In which case I should not want you to do it) kindly write your Duval county members (Senate and House) and request their support of our State Library Building bill.
Regards to your Father, Mother and remainder of family and all good wishes to you.
Sincerely,
W. T. Cash
State Librarian
