Autograph Letter Signed to 'Mr. Woodward'.

Three pages, small octavo. Good, though a little aged. He is having an exhibition of his 'new Mexican things [...] and teaching a small class' in Savannah. He is pleased that Woodward is going to Chapel Hill ('They need a breath of fresh air.'). The rest of the letter consists of an interesting assessment of the artistic situation in the area, beginning, 'In N. Carolina there isn't any art museum or public collection of pictures nor any art school of note and not many do painting when I worked there last spring I almost had to explain first what a watercolour was.' The students are 'thirsty for a chance to paint', but Woodward will 'find them all with only one 1'' flat stroke brush'. O'Hara describes how he 'simply chilled them in the technical part of the work'. He describes the area and suggests some people to contact regarding 'a good living place'.
