- Containers:
- Box 10.0050 - Box 3, Folder 001
- Scope and content:
This folder contains letters from various authors written originally to Mrs. Annie Bowman, Hazel's mother, who forwarded these letters to Hazel. Among the letters is a letter from D. Mayfield, discussing a recommendation they wrote to headquarters for Hazel's job appointment, but they fear for her going overseas. There are three letters from George Thoman, Hazel's cousin who was stationed overseas in Europe. With one of the letters from George, there is a letter from Annie Bowman's niece, Paula, attached. There are two letters initially sent to Anna Allen, a secretary in Orange Park, FL. She talks about her duties at home and work and asks after relatives of the Bowmans. There is a letter from Dorothy, mainly covering her daily life, but the letter also addressed Hazel's issues with her brother, Bob. There is also a letter from Lizzie; it mentions men enlisted in the war and appears to be missing pages. There is a letter from Elsie, sent to her sister Annie Bowman.
