A 1928 Visit to 114 East King Street (cont) No further record seems to have survived of Emily Clark Balch’s acquaintance with Charles Demuth. She lost her reason some years later, was institutionalized, and all of her papers disappeared. All of her letters to West Chester, Pennsylvania, novelist Joseph Hergesheimer have been published as Ingenue Among the Lions (University of Texas Press, 1965), however. Like the passage about Demuth’s home in Mrs. Balch’s description of 118 East King Street, her letters are rich in detail and help us to recreate the social world in which Demuth moved. – BK
