- Containers:
- 10.0050 - Box 1, Folder 014
- Scope and content:
This folder contains letters to Bowman's parents from September 4, 1945-December 2, 1945. Letters cover her time working for the Red Cross in Calcutta, her observations and experiences in India, news from home, and interactions and letters with friends. She included several newspaper clippings, stating in her letter on September 24, 1945, that she would be sending articles that had not been able to be sent due to censorship beforehand, often due to their political nature. In her letter on October 7, 1945, she sent a letter with leaves from a sacred banyan tree from the botanical gardens. Her last letter from December 2, 1945, was sent from the USS General Hase, which was at sea in the Bay of Bengal. Bowman mentions their leaving being delayed due to riots in Calcutta.
