Correspondence
The Correspondence series (1918-1991, approximately 3 linear feet) consists of letters written to and from the multiple members of the extended Lewis family. Parents Ralph and Roberta are the largest contributors to this series, often signing off their letters to their children as "MODAD" (likely to stand for a combination of "Mom" and "Dad"). Early letters from Reberta to her immediate family are often signed with either "Berta" or "Bertie". The letters offer insight into the day-to-day life of the individual who wrote them during their travels abroad, and span from 1918 to 1991, four generations of the Lewis family, and topics ranging from birth certificates to funding.
