In her letter dated "Sunday", New York Evening Post critic Margaret Breuning lavishly praises Rockwell Kent's book "Voyaging": "Ethically my brazen effrontery in demanding 'Voyaging' from its illustrious author should not have been rewarded by such pure joy as I had in perusing it. I made an orgy of it." After referring to the pleasure of immersing herself in the "illusion of adventure and solitude" which "solaced my soul bruised and battered from the impact of an overcrowded milieu." she goes on to express her gratitude "It is quite impossible to thank you for this escape from an all-too burgeoning humanity into a vastness of both spirit and space." Boldly signed "Margaret Breuning". Folded for mailing, with minor creases to the edges and a tiny tear to the right edge of the top fold. There are tiny indentations to the verso of the page. Rockwell Kent has penciled the annotation "Nice letter from Eve. Post Critic" in his hand on the verso.The New York Evening Post Critic Margaret Breuning was the author of books on Mary Cassat and George Constant.
