 Item — Box: 14, Folder: 5

Scope and Contents

Letters are to A.S.M. while on vacation in 1939. Vacation cut short by the opening stages of World War II.

Some highlights include:

Harriton, PA. 1939 [“I was very glad to get thy letter on Thursday when I called at the American Express Co. office. It sounded as if things weren’t going so well with thee, and I hope everything is all right now. As I wired thee Thursday evening I have given up my plan of going to Germany because of the crisis. As a matter of fact last night it was announced that the Dutch-German border was closed, so I probably couldn’t have gone anyway.”]
