| BOX 1-7 | Family Correspondence, 1900-1967 | ||||||||||||
| Family Correspondence is the largest series and is primarily composed of letters
written by Edward and Lispenard to their parents and to each other while serving
abroad at various embassies and legations. The correspondence is organized by the
name of the family member who wrote the letter. Edward's correspondence begins
with letters from his college days at Princeton and during his service in U.S.
Navy in Europe during World War I. In addition to letters about his various
foreign service posts, he also writes frequently about family vacations in rural
Maine. Lispenard's letters begin with her youthful European travels followed by
her courtship and marriage to Edward Crocker. Material types include correspondence with some photographs as attachments. |
