Dear Aunt Laura:- This is Georges birthday and we have been celebrating by having our first picnic of the season in a rocky cove down at the end of Swansport. We took frying pans and built a fire so as to cook beefsteak fry potatoes and make coffee. It certainly does taste good out of doors. In order to get to the camping place we had to walk quite a distance overa short play in which Donald made his first appearance on the stage he did better than I expected and looked quite grown up in a long trouser suit. All the children were promoted with an average of about 90. We have all had bad colds but are feeling fine today. We were very sorry to hear that Uncle Perl has been so miserable and hope he will improve a lot and enjoy the summer he usually feels better when he can get out doors more.

First edition of this exceedingly scarce memoir by the two sisters Alice & Willietta Dolan who were contracted in 1911 to teach for the Federal Government Education system in Kenai Alaska which at the time was housed in the Federal Building and was intended to compete with the Russian Church School in Kenai. The two women spent three years “enlightening” the local Athabaskan and Alutiiq Indigenous Peoples often claiming their students and local Native American families were rife with disease lacking in sanitation often using decidedly pejorative words in referring to men and women indigenous alike. The memoir does offer however valuable information on the detrimental impact of sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis along with tuberculosis and other communicable diseases infecting and affecting Indigenous families.

A seemingly unrecorded guide and map to Fort Richardson located near Anchorage Alaska. The fort opened in 1941 as the headquarters for the United States Army in Alaska. For a brief time Fort Richardson served as a holding center for fifteen Japanese American internee families. The present guide "was prepared primarily for the information and guidance of military personnel new to Fort Richardson. It presents the rules regulations and facilities of the Post for easy reference." The facilities included officers' clubs theatres a library skating rink ski bowl and much more. A total of thirty-eight of these facilities are keyed to the map of the fort printed on the verso. When folded the pamphlet measures 6 x 4 inches and folds out to a total of 12 x 15.75 inches. We could locate no other copies of this early guide to an important American military base in Alaska during the Second World War. March 1 unknown
