Highlights include:

AFSC (F. Bacon). Berlin, 1922 1/10. According to a Dr. Dickinson, despite what the liberal media has written, no one within Russia believes in the idealistic intentions of the new government, and even Lenin is subject to the dictation of the N.G.P.U. Of course, when times are difficult, powers that be are generally unpopular.

AFSC (W. Thomas). Philadelphia, 1925 4/20. Apparently in response to Hurley's interest in returning to Russia

Haines, Anna. Russia, 1921-26. Many details of life and work.

Kenworthy, Murray. Riga, Latvia [ca. December 1921?]. Copy. Details of crossing the border between Latvia and Russia; while some have noted that the hardships are too great in Russia for women, there are already AFSC women in place in Russia.
