[Letter from M.-C. Fortier to R. Renfro, July 24, 1995]

Letter from Marie-Claude Fortier from the Wine-Museum of Arbois to Dr. Roy Renfro (head of the T. V. Muson Memorial Vineyard) discussing various trips and a hope that they can meet up as well as information about the research at the Wine-Museum regarding correspondence and rootstock trading between American and French viticulturists around the end of the 19th century. In particular, she has found a reference to Munson (enclosed as a photocopy), who received the "Legion of Honor with the title of 'Chevalier du Merite Agricole' in 1888" and is hoping to get additional information from the archives in Denison. Fortier has also included a pamphlet about Arbois, France.
