Scope and Contents
This series consists of 40 items, mostly personal letters written on hotel stationery, dating from 1883-1930s. Box 164
Most correspondents are represented by several letters. The unique experience of travel is chronicled in these descriptive communications. There is even a poem called “Ballad of a Bellboy” from the Yellowstone Park Hotel. The recipients must have valued receiving these letters, as they were presumably saved for posterity, before they likely ended up in an antique store or flea market.
