Scope and Contents

13 short letters and cards sent between 1963 and 1977 to Ann's maternal grandmother. Early letters mainly touch on school, holiday greetings, and gratitude for various birthday and Christmas gifts sent by Marian. Letter 10 is particularly notable. It is the only letter to Marian sent from Guyana, and Ann describes the scenery in great detail, noting her singular experience with a friendly snake, the lack of light pollution resulting in spectacular night views, the medical uses of papaya skin, and affection for Jim-Jon.
