To a teacher in California Baldwin apologizes for the delay in her response to several questions posed by the teacher. "I can reply to your questions only informally and in bad typing as I have never used a secretary and employ two fingers." Baldwin discusses several of her books and writes that Many Windows will be published on her 65th birthday. "About education. I don't have the true equivalent of a high school education. Mrs. Dow's school did give courses which if passed took you into college; but I wasn't interested in college; I was about 17 and a ga half sic when I left Mrs. Dow's. The education in Germany was during the war and consisted of house keeping school didn't learn a thing and of German which I learned. I am not sorry I didn't go to college; I think I would have frittered away my time and probably flunked. I was not a good student for I was far too lazy." Baldwin goes on in some detail about advising students to go to college "if it is possible" and discusses the benefits of a college education and the difficulty of supporting herself as a writer. "You can only eat while you write if you have rich parents or generous and/or a well-heeled husband or wife." Baldwin writes about the demands for college degrees in the business world and says she always advises her students to at least have a good secretarial degree "for this is really an open door. I have seen one advance from typist to private secretary to asst. editor and then editor on a national magazine." Baldwin continues about her father's profession lawyer and her mother's a grade-school teacher and her family's background missionaries editors etc. "It's tougher if you are born into a family without the cultural background but that can be overcome by education." She writes "in this era a college education is extremely valuable and certainly a high school education a must." Also signed by Baldwin as "Mrs. Hugh Cuthrell."

Light stain on rear jacket panel one inch tear along bottom edge of rear jacket panel. 1973 Large Hardcover. xxi 106 pp. "The deep religious faith and extraordinary spiritual dedication of the Shaker sect is probably nowhere more strongly reflected than in the nearly faultless workmanship of their furniture and other artifacts. Always striving for functional perfection and shunning ornamental effect the Shaker craftsmen wrought household furnishing which are striking in their quiet refinement and unique beauty. Religion in Wood presents eighty-one magnificent photographs of Shaker furniture from Shaker settlements in various states. Subtle variations in furniture design are discernible from region to region but all examples retain the simplicity and charm so characteristic of the Shaker craft. Included are pieces from New Lebanon and Watervliet New York; Enfield and Canterbury New Hampshire; Harvard Hancock and Tyringham Massachusetts; Union Village Ohio; and Pleasant Hill Kentucky. Two articles by Mr. and Mrs. Andrews and one by Alan Gowans present fascinating discussions of Shaker origins their communal villages their deep religious faith and the consecration of their personal lives which is so apparent in their workmanship."--jacket Indiana University Press unknown books
