Description
In this handwritten letter, dated December 22, 1939, Miriam Jackson Ray, Leighton W. Ray's wife, writes to her mother-in-law, Anna (Annie) Webb Ray to discuss her Christmas plans and her daughter's delight at the number of packages Anna sent for Christmas. She goes on to share news of her husband Leighton, some family friends, and offers some thoughts on the gifts she sent the family in Mississippi. An envelop with a Santa Rosa, California postmark and two, purple three cent postage stamps is included along with a newspaper clipping with the headline "Creative Arts Address Heard at AAUW Dinner."
