I asked Clary Croft, who as Dr. Helen Creighton's protege might have some knowledge, and this is the information he foundDate: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 16:49:14 -0300

To: George Seto
Subject: Re: Canadian folk icon Vera JohnsonHello:
I just checked with Dr. Creighton's collection today and found two letters from Vera to Helen. Nothing too important but, just the same, Vera knew all the people in the "folk song world" at the time and certainly made a name for herself among us growing up in that era. The references are: Nova Scotia Archives and Record Management. MG1 Volume 2814 #24. Vera Johnson to Helen Creighton, 18 December, 1952: enquiring about Helen's thoughts on Alan Mills for an article Vera was preparing for MacLean's Magazine. Vera Johnson to Helen Creighton, 4 January, 1953: response and query of obtaining Helen's Songs and Ballads of Nova Scotia.
Cheers,
