Correspondence, 1941 August 18-31
Scope and Contents
On August 18, Walter writes "If you find it necessary to throw away a lot of old letters why do so dearest because there is no use leaving them around for other people to read." She replies "All afternoon I have been tearing up letters so I can burn them in the incinerator...it is awful to lose and to throw any of the beautiful letters you have written to me." In Ella-May's August 18 letter, she relates the situation across the hall from her where a step-dad beats his step-daughter and makes her do menial work. Walter's address changes to SS Magpie.
