Dear Professor Shoemaker:
Remembering as I do a talk that you once gave before some assembled geographers in Lancaster, I send along the following notice.
Professor Walter Horn, chairman of the Art Dept. University of California, Berkeley, has an illustrated talk which he gives, titled, “The Western Barn – Its Origin and Structural History.” What he says bears a relation to Penna. barns. His main concern is with European ancestry. Perhaps you’d like to look into this, if you have not already.
Sincerely yours,
William D. Pattison
Asst. Prof.
