AI Notes
A child’s letter on personalized stationery printed at the top in large red block letters reading ‘NANCY McEWAN.’ Written in pencil in a young child’s hand with widely-spaced uneven letters. Reports on Valentines, report cards, and an invitation for her grandmother to come down soon. A note ‘Over —’ at the bottom edge indicates the letter continues on the verso (not visible in this scan). [The ‘Grandmother’ addressee is Amy Perry FitzSimons (Mrs. James Pickens Walker), and ‘Chris’ is Nancy’s brother Christopher Gaillard McEwan — the same Chris who in spring 1966 was in law school at Washington and Lee.]
