Description
In this letter from Bazil Rozelle (signed papa) to his wife (presumably Edith Rozelle), he provides updates regarding the ranch while she is away, asks about his sons and discusses what life is like without them; and talks about the family dog, Prince.
Post-it on the back of the envelope was placed prior to donation to the archives.
The Rozelle collection, ranging from the late 1860's to the early 2000's contains correspondence, photographs, official documents, newspaper clippings, and genealogy information pertaining to the family of Bazil Tillson Rozelle. Letters reflect current and family affairs; and agricultural conditions of Compton in that era. Photographs include family vacations in Catalina Island circa 1890s; Compton, Paramount, and Lynwood areas circa 1890s; World War II boat christening from Terminal Island CA circa 1940s; and mink farming in southern California circa 1940s-1950s.
