John A. Elliott

Letter to Mrs. J.A. Elliott

This is a letter to Mrs. J.A. Elliott (Arminda Hathaway) from Mrs. Hattie Nelson, dated Sept. 16, 1926. It is a curious letter, not because of the content but because it still exists. In the letter, Mrs. Nelson addresses Mrs Elliott as "aunt" and informs her of the recent death of Mrs. Nelson's mother. She also asks Mrs. Elliott if she would notify "Uncle Frank" and "Aunt Duck."
