Language of Materials

From the Collection: English

Arrangement

The bulk of the letters were loose, or arranged in chronological groups (but the groups were not themselves in chronological order). These letters have been sorted into two chief groups: those to and from Florence Lund's parents, and all others; these letters are arranged in chronological order. Some of the letters were in separate containers (boxes, envelopes) and appear to represent distinct entities created by Lund; these groups have been maintained, and assigned descriptive captions

Related Materials

An important group of letters related to Lund's Army service, including time spent in the Philippines and occupied Japan, is housed with other materials related to his Army experiences, in the Biography series
