Description
In this letter to Edith from her mother, her mother discusses the birthday present she intends to give to Walter; provides updates on Anna and Emma; and shares news of Mrs. Chas. Beck's death, Florence and her family, and others. She also inquires about Bazil's health, and provides a recipe for apple dumplings.
Letter is signed "mother" to Edith. There is no name on the envelope, but it is presumably from Sarah Wilcox Owens, who was married to Dr. William Owens, Edith's father.
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.
