First year counted. Between June and December, 1933, (They graduated from the University of Missouri in late May or early June) between 150 and 160--hard to tell exactly since some envelopes are empty and some letters aren't in envelopes. Most are typed, single-spaced and two pages.
Trying to imagine so many letters....Joe's and mine fit in cigar boxes
ReplyDeleteThe 150 plus is 7 months. The other years are fatter. Except for the sort of sloppy "I love you and miss you and let's meet in Ft. Worth" endings these are more journal than letters.
ReplyDeleteI can only read them for about an hour and then I go sloppy myself.
