Waldemar H. Fries (1889- )

[Autograph Letter.] 1957 February 29 [to] James D. Mack.

In his quest to not only locate, but also to identify the provenance of each of the two hundred copies of Audubon's Birds of America, Waldemar Fries contacted Lehigh University's Librarian James D. Mack. Unfortunately, Lehigh did not retain any information regarding the provenance of its copy, acquired in 1884 and now on display in the Linderman lobby and the Zoellner Arts Center lower gallery.
