A collection of letters and ephemera related to the Cook family from 1946 to 1947 while they were stationed in China. The letters are from Dr. Sterling S. Cook, Ruth Cook, and Bill Cook to Frances Ann Cook and Caroline Cook Ball. The letters describe life in China just after the Second World War, including domestic issues, world events, American football, travel plans across China and East Asia, and their meetings with Chinese leaders and celebrities, such as Chiang Kai-shek; Chiang May-ling Soong; Dai Li; Mei Lanfang; Soong Ching-ling (Song, Qingling); and Soong T. V. There is also a photocopy of a letter from Sterling S. Cook to his sister Ruth and a printed map in Chinese, a clipping, and an envelope.
