Letters home: File 1, 1926 - 1928
Scope and Contents
Includes 30 letters, 3 fragments, 2 postcards.
About half of the letters are supplemented by notes typed by GF, for reference to people or events described.
Of particular note in this collection are the first few letters that GF wrote home, and the letters that she wrote to her sister B after their brother P’s death in October 1928. It seems as if the collection contains the complete set of letters written home during these periods, providing the reader with a useful sense of continuity of GF’s life at Girton. Almost the same degree of continuity can be gauged for a month of her Easter Term in 1927.
