Riis, 301 Mulbery Street, New York. July 14, 1899----Gacious! My dear Miss Ben Jussuf, but I didn't believe it was possible. I thought I knew what photography was, but I evidently don't. They certainly are the most marvelous pictures I ever saw and you are the most extraordinary woman who ever looked through a camera at a mortal. I thank you most humbly and sincerely for having taken the trouble to look at me and shall always consider myself in your debt--always. Cordially yours, Jacob A. Riis"--(Postscript) "I (illegible) to say that either of the two is best but forgot in my excitement, which ever you say, goes. Perhaps No1."...both letter and photographic proof are adhesed to front endpaper and half title page, respectively...Boise State biography of Riis states--"Jacob Riis employed a blend of reporting, reform and photography that made hima unique legend in all three fields. Theodore Roosevelt held Riis in very high esteem offering him positions of power and influence in his administration and calling him 'the most useful citizen of New York.' Instead Riis continued his creative work, producing books on the plight ofpoor children, immigrants and tenement dewellers. He died in 1914."...a rare find in New York, New York City Reformation, and American history.
