Family letters, 1920

The 1920 collection consists of personal correspondence and memorabilia. As with previous years, the primary recipient of letters was Mrs. Fred M. "Vetabelle" Carter (nee Phillips) of Madera and Redding, California. Among the authors is Ralph, who wrote to Mrs. Carter from the Panama Canal Zone as a crewman aboard the U.S.S. New Hampshire. Ralph describes a trip to Los Angeles, where he toured movie sets in the pioneering days of Hollywood. Extended relatives who wrote to Mrs. Carter in 1920 include her cousin Chet of Olene, Oregon; Lester A. Phillips of Talent, Oregon; "Mother;" and Aunt Anna. Memorabilia includes a birth announcement for Maxwell Benji, Jr. born of Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell B. Carter on November 17; a copper plate engraved with Mr. George Fay Phillips complete with bill of sale; and a generic Christmas card from Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mortimer Carter, Jr. (unsigned).
