An enclosure to this letter is included regarding the Enabling Act which gave Utah "lands to the extent of two townships...for the establishment of the University of Utah." The second letter, dated 5 June 1942, is a thank you letter to Judge Johnson and comments on the judge's changing opinion of women's rights. Also included in this collection is a retrospective exhibition program of the painter Lee Greene Richards by Horne. Also included in the collection is a letter written by Virginia L. Horne (Alice Merrill Horne's daughter) to Mr. Florian Wineriter.
