I have been and am very busy trying to assist the more unfortunate, as I feel a certain pride in doing a good job of it." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing to the homemade deckle-edged photo, and an area of light toning to the letter. Accompanied by an unsigned candid photo of Owens.
