Description
This collection contains typescript letters from Emily to her husband [Frederick] Glenn Swanson from September 1931 to May 1932 and describe Em's life working in the law firm and her social activities in Amarillo, Texas. These letters are all addressed "Dear Glenn" and are signed "Love Em," most likely Swanson's wife Emily. It appears that Glenn was recuperating from an injury in Tyler, Texas and Em sent him candy, magazines, and letters. In this letter Em drops “just a line while…waiting for Mrs. Morgan to come…” Em had an unexciting weekend, but managed to send off a copy of the October Harpers to Glen. She wishes she could fix up dinner tonight but at least Florence dropped off some nut cookies. “More next time. Love-em.”
