This batch of letters between Doris Holmes Blake and her parents, principally her mother, Lucy Wentworth Holmes, covers the second half of 1932 and celebrates a few special events. Christmas of 1932 is a sweet remembrance, featuring Doris's daughter, young Doris, delighting her grandmother with her first self-wrapped gift to her grandparents; another highlight is a series of colored postcards of Virginia Beach, Cape Henry, and Yorktown Doris sent to her parents during a vacation. Take a gander with your fellow volunpeers and see what other precious family memories are contained in these letters!
