Manuscripts
Five letters written by Edith Place to her cousin, Hattie, about her life on a ranch in Monterey County, California. In these letters, she writes in detail about her life on the ranch; harvests and crops planted; the migrant harvesting crews and their appearance during harvest; weather; her education (she did not like her teacher); childbirth and death; family matters; religious life; and leisure activities including trips to the beach. The manuscript with the letters is a short story entitled "Thanksgiving Day in the Far West," also written by Place.
