Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

Living in Michigan, Allen Galer, born 1918, was Mary's longtime suitor and fiance, though Mary broke the engagement. Allen's numerous letters over the years follow their courtship and the difficulties their long-distance relationship faced. As both corresponded while students, the sub-series also documents college social life in the late 1930s. Allen's letters later tell of his experience training as an army pilot during the war.
