Carbon fragment, third page of a draft of an article or book on the subject of the crop of American writers coming out of the mid-west, specifically Chicago. With some corrections.

Carbon fragment of pages 9-11 of one of Ford's many articles on wine. Probably one of the first articles which was published. With some corrections.
