Letter from Walker Anderson Myrick, Los Angeles, California, to Haydn Thompson, Alton, Illinois, December 8, 1925

This letter is from the Haydn Neal Thompson Letter Collection. Contents of the collection include correspondence, primarily handwritten and of a personal nature. The bulk of materials are from Thompson's family members, including his mother, Marie Thompson, and sister, Janet Thompson, with a few letters from aunts and cousins. The remaining majority consists of letters from friends, primarily girlfriends. The conversation across letters emphasizes school and social happenings. Politics and the economy (Great Depression) do not receive much notice, though a change in the tone of letters is noticeable from the 1920's to the 1930's, becoming more sober and fatalistic
