Personal Correspondence
- Scope and content:
-
Correspondence from former students, friends and colleagues of Howard Scammon. Howard Scammon purposefully kept a correspondence file of all the post cards and letters sent to him. This group of correspondence was pulled from all the accessions and filed in alphabetical order by surname/first name. If the surname is unknown, the letter was filed by the first name. Some letters are filed under the first name AND the surname since not all of the letters included the surname. Other letters are filed under both the maiden and married surname or under a spouse's first name or surname. Series 7, Box 24, folder 4 contains a bound volume of 1976 retirement congratulatory letters.
