Wayland, John Walter, 1872-1962 and Lough, A. D. (Alonzo Dice), 1880-1960
Scope and content:

Wayland begins by acknowledging Lough's recent letter. Wayland references a Mrs Miller, an acquaintance of Lough's, who has expressed interest in the position of matron for the new dormitory (now Harper Allen-Lee Hall) being constructed at the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg (now JMU).

Wayland also encourages Lough to continue his writing pursuits and mentions a "piece you wrote for the college magazine" which likely refers to Bridgewater College. Wayland suggests that the he and Lough work together on an illustrated article about mountain people including their "dwellings, manner of life, customs, superstitions, traditions, etc."
