"Your letter of March 17 was such a surprise that it leaves me adrift on the well-known sea of emotion."

Abstract

Relander writes to Arthur S. Cory that "it is a rare honor to be considered for nomination as a member of the Board of Curators of the Washington State Historical Society." He speaks about his newspaper, that it was the draw that brought him from California, and says that his first duty would always be to his chosen profession. He leaves the decision in the hands of those familiar with his work.
