Document Type Correspondence
Content Description Typed transcript excerpting original letter (not included). Undated transcript. It is not clear if this has anything to do with the Van Valkenburgh family. Note at top says this is a typed copy of the last letter written by Willard to his/her mother. It is dated 27 June 1897, but it is unclear when this manuscript was typed. Sent to "My dear desk-mate of well-nigh 40 years ago." Can picture mother perfectly: straight well-built figure, grace, fine face and brow, and dark eyes. Says she was studious and earnest.
