Description
In the first of two letters signed father (presumably Dr. William Owens) to son; he discusses sending a check for $100; offers his help; and tells him not to work too hard as they are getting used to living in a new climate. In the second letter signed father to daughter, Owens discusses his future plans to visit California, and sends medication to help with a sickness. Two letters are dated the same and were sent at the same time in an envelope addressed to Bazil Rozelle from Dr. Owens. Both are signed "father", and one is addressed to "son", while the other is addressed to "daughter" meaning they were presumably to sent to his daughter Edith, and son-in-law, Bazil Rozelle. 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.
