Letters and Envelopes
Scope and Contents
The letters were separated from their envelopes, but the processor has matched them up using ink color, dates, postmarks, occurrences (such as Ruth's and Ferner's marriage), and addresses. There may be errors in this arrangement, but they are organized roughly chronologically based on this matching. There are two letters and a fragment that were not matched to an envelope, since there are more letters than envelopes. Names mentioned are Orra, Emma, Edie Voigt, Mrs. Prentice, Mary Dickson, Jim and Helen Cowles LeCron, Mr Trewin, Mr. Martin, the Moormans, Mr. Irmscher, Marshall, Mrs. Weston, Aunt Dora, Bertha, Ferner Nuhn, Marion, Russell LeCron, Amy, the Laxsons, Opal, Mrs. Tompkinson, Mrs. White, Guggie, Mr. and Mrs. John Towner Frederick, and Helen Boardman.
