Content Description
This collection is mostly composed of Corbridge family correspondence. The first folder contains correspondence from contains letters to Leith J. Corbridge, Sr. from Robert R. Person, International Representative of the International Union of United Brewery, Flour, Cereal, and Soft Drink Workers. The second and third folders contain correspondence to Mr. and Mrs. Leith J. Corbridge, Sr. from Leith "Bud" Corbridge, Jr., while Bud was attending West Point. The collection also contains Christmas cards addressed to Leith "Bud" Corbridge, Jr., Rinda Olsen, and Frank Lester. It is unclear how Olsen and Lester are connected with the Corbridge family. Finally, these papers include 1876 marriage documents for Charles A. Collett and Hannah Ann Merrill, whose relationship to the Corbridge family is also unclear.
These papers are mostly organized by correspondent. Envelopes had been separated from letters, so care was taken to group these again and paperclip them together.
