This collection contains two letters and three weaving drafts. The first of these letters was sent to University of Tennessee English Professor Richard B. Davis from Leta Oscar Colditz of Allardt, TN, on February 20, 1950. Accompanied with Colditz’s letter are three weaving patterns that are handwritten. In her letter to Davis, Colditz mentions that she found these patterns hidden in "the cracks of an old mountain cabin" in Fentress County, Tennessee. All of the patterns are signed by the name "Sarah Heath," and the one that details the Snowball pattern is dated July 17, 1852. In addition to this letter and these patterns, the collection also includes a letter from Marian G. Heard, Professor of Craft Design at the University of Tennessee, to Davis. Heard’s letter is addressed May 3, 1950 and discusses different aspects of the weaving documents from Colditz, including the originality of the particular patterns shown.
