The letters, Jan 14, 1939 and Nov 14, 1943, refer to Glasgow's concern for wild animals and birds, especially her disdain for keeping wi1d animals in captivity and her awe of the humming-birds at her friend Miss Satterlee's cottage. Two of the Christmas cards contain Glasgow's signature, and all have envelopes addressed in her hand.
