Scope and Contents

The twentieth folder in the Natalie Gookin papers contains letters written every day in correspondence between Bryn Mawr College junior Natalie Gookin and her family in Chicago during November 1918. These letters have been arranged chronologically according to the date that they were written. In her letters, Natalie demonstrates the close and intimate relationship she has with her parents through her detailed descriptions and opinions that she expresses. Much of what she writes in her letters reflect her ongoing classes and homework as well as the various events within the Bryn Mawr community and her relationships with her friends. Some highlights from November include her Banner show costume, the end of quarantine for the Influenza epidemic, the end of World War I, and Thanksgiving. These letters would be of interest to anyone studying women’s colleges, student life, public health, World War I, and home relationships.
