Item #345281
Ansel Adams was one of many artists and writers that was friends with writer Witter Bynner (b.1881 - d.1968), having stayed with him and his partner Bob Hunt in Santa Fe. In this letter from the Fourth of July 1962 Adams writes to Bynner regarding a portrait the photographer had made of Bynner. In his follow-up letter the next month Adams mentions the prints and brings up the death of Mabel Dodge (Luhan) Sterne, the wealthy Taos based arts patron and subject of Bynner's play, Cake, which satirized the infamous "founder" of the Taos literary and art colony.
