Correspondence

Collection also contains fifteen love letters written in 1927 from a suitor at a university in St. Louis, Missouri, and a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. In this letter Billy discovers Ione is a school teacher and tells her “wish I were back in grade school. It certainly would be soft-have you for a teacher. I bet I would get away with a lot…” He apologizes for hurting her (sweet little) feelings but not writing for so long.
